"IRIS Metabolic Arthropathies provides specialized care for joint disorders linked to metabolic conditions, focusing on accurate diagnosis, disease-specific management strategies, and personalized rehabilitation plans to alleviate pain, protect joint health, and enhance overall quality of life"
Metabolic arthropathies refer to joint disorders that occur as a result of underlying metabolic diseases. Conditions such as Hemochromatosis, Alkaptonuria, Acromegaly, and Diabetes mellitus can lead to joint pain, stiffness, and degeneration due to abnormal accumulation of substances or hormonal imbalances affecting joint structures. These complications often mimic other forms of arthritis but require a different approach to diagnosis and treatment.
Pharmacological management for metabolic arthropathies involves medications tailored to the underlying metabolic condition, such as iron chelation for hemochromatosis, enzyme replacement for alkaptonuria, hormonal treatments for acromegaly, and blood sugar control for diabetes. These therapies help manage symptoms, prevent progression, and reduce joint inflammation and damage.
Physiotherapy and rehabilitation for metabolic arthropathies focus on improving joint mobility, strength, and function. Personalized exercise plans, manual therapy, and soft tissue techniques reduce pain, enhance flexibility, and restore range of motion. Rehabilitation aims to minimize joint stiffness and prevent further damage, enabling patients to maintain daily activities and mobility.
Joint protection strategies involve reducing strain on affected joints through adaptive techniques and lifestyle changes. This includes the use of supportive devices, proper posture, ergonomics, and avoiding high-impact activities. Joint protection helps manage pain, prevent further damage, and improve overall joint function, allowing individuals to maintain an active and independent lifestyle.
