Conditions treated by our joint care surgeon in Salem

  • Osteoarthritis: It is a degenerative joint disease that affects millions of individuals worldwide and damages joints in the hands, spine, knees, and hips. It causes joint pain, stiffness, loss of flexibility, and inflammation. The pain associated with osteoarthritis may become more acute as the disease progresses. Swelling in the joint and surrounding area may develop over time. The type of treatment you receive is mostly determined by the severity of your symptoms and their location. Most of the time, over-the-counter (OTC) drugs, lifestyle modifications, and home remedies will be sufficient to relieve your pain, stiffness, and swelling.
  • Rheumatoid Arthritis: A chronic inflammatory condition that affects the joints. It occurs when the immune system fails and attacks the synovium, the lining of the joints. This leads to swollen joints, fluid accumulation in the ankles, joint pain, joint redness, fever, and lung inflammation. Treatment involves medication and lifestyle adjustments. Doctors may also recommend joint replacement surgery or synovectomy in more serious cases.
  • Lupus: It is a chronic autoimmune disease that can affect joints, skin, kidneys, blood cells, the brain, and lungs. It causes painful and swollen joints, fatigue, a butterfly rash on the face, unexplained fever, appetite loss, and chest pain. The main goal of treatment is to alleviate and manage symptoms. Anti-inflammatory medications, steroid creams, and immunosuppressants are used to reduce the severity.
  • Dislocated Joint: A condition that occurs when a bone slips out of a joint as a result of injury. It most commonly affects the shoulders and fingers. It causes joint deformity, swelling, inflammation, intense pain, and immobility in the affected area. Treatment options include immobilisation, medicine, and, in rare circumstances, dislocation surgery to repair the dislocated joint.
  • Gout: A type of arthritis that causes inflammation of the joints due to excess uric acid, usually in the big toe. It causes tendon inflammation, joint redness, swelling, and joint destruction. Doctors prescribe nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, corticosteroids, and anti-gout medications to relieve the pain and swelling.
  • Hemarthrosis: It is bleeding in a joint caused by conditions such as haemophilia, physical trauma, or other factors. It commonly affects the joints of the knees, ankles, and elbows, although it can also occur in the hips, shoulders, and wrists. The symptoms include joint swelling, stiffness, pain, loss of motion, discomfort, and tingling in the joints. Treatments include physical therapy, lifestyle changes, and, in severe cases, surgeries such as synovectomy and joint replacement.
