"IRIS Clinics in Trivandrum offers expert care for Osteoarthritis, providing accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment, including physiotherapy, pain management, and lifestyle modifications to relieve joint pain and improve mobility."
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of joint disease, characterized by the gradual degeneration of cartilage within the joints, leading to pain, stiffness, and swelling. It is often caused by chronic wear and tear due to aging, repetitive motion, or injury. OA is commonly associated with other health conditions such as Diabetes Mellitus and Obesity, which can exacerbate the symptoms.
Viscosupplementation involves injecting hyaluronic acid directly into the affected joint, usually the knee, to supplement the joint’s natural fluid. This helps improve lubrication, reduce friction, and relieve pain during movement. It is especially helpful for patients with mild to moderate osteoarthritis who have not responded well to other non-surgical treatments.
Joint replacement surgery is considered for advanced osteoarthritis when pain and mobility issues severely affect daily life. The damaged joint surfaces are replaced with artificial implants, typically in the knee or hip. This procedure restores joint function, reduces pain, and significantly improves quality of life for patients with severe, end-stage joint degeneration.
Assistive devices like canes, walkers, braces, and orthotic footwear help reduce strain on affected joints. These tools support balance, improve mobility, and protect joints from further damage. Customized assistive aids are often recommended alongside therapy to enhance independence and comfort for individuals living with osteoarthritis, especially in the elderly population.
