Rheumatoid Arthritis Treatment

Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune condition that causes chronic joint inflammation, pain, and potential joint damage if not properly managed. Dr. Sanjay Rawat provides comprehensive rheumatoid arthritis treatment in Indore to control symptoms and preserve joint function.

About Rheumatoid Arthritis Treatment

Rheumatoid arthritis occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks the lining of the joints, causing inflammation that can lead to pain, swelling, and eventually joint damage if left untreated. Unlike osteoarthritis, it typically affects joints symmetrically and can involve smaller joints in the hands and feet early in the disease. Early diagnosis and treatment with appropriate medication are critical to slowing disease progression and preventing long-term joint deformity.

Symptoms of Rheumatoid Arthritis Treatment

• Symmetrical joint pain and swelling
• Morning stiffness lasting more than 30 minutes
• Fatigue and general malaise
• Warmth and tenderness over affected joints
• Joint deformity in advanced, untreated cases

Causes of Rheumatoid Arthritis Treatment

• Autoimmune dysfunction attacking joint tissue
• Genetic predisposition to autoimmune conditions
• Environmental triggers such as smoking
• Hormonal factors, with higher prevalence in women
• Certain infections potentially triggering onset

Diagnosis

• Clinical examination of joint involvement pattern
• Blood tests including rheumatoid factor and anti-CCP antibodies
• X-ray to assess joint damage progression
• Ultrasound or MRI for early joint inflammation detection

Treatment Options

• Disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs)
• Anti-inflammatory medication for symptom control
• Physiotherapy to maintain joint mobility and strength
• Joint protection strategies and lifestyle modification
• Surgical intervention for severely damaged joints
