Arthritis Care
Recognizing the signs of arthritis can be the first step toward reclaiming your quality of life. You may notice persistent joint pain, stiffness, swelling, or a decreased range of motion—symptoms that can make everyday activities challenging. Simple tasks like opening jars, typing on your computer, or even walking your dog can become a struggle. These symptoms often impact areas such as the hands, knees, hips, and spine, but arthritis can affect any joint in the body. Nevertheless, living with arthritis doesn't mean enduring constant discomfort. At Advanced Bone & Joint, feeling comfortable and confident in your care and body are important to us.
Living with arthritis can be a challenging journey, but our team of board-certified orthopedic physicians and supportive mid-level providers offers compassionate care for those living with this condition. We believe in empowering our patients with thorough education and a high-quality experience, helping them navigate their journey toward wellness with confidence. Trust in our expertise as we partner with you to improve your mobility and quality of life.
Comprehensive Arthritis Management
We believe in the power of cutting-edge treatments to provide effective relief. One such treatment is minimally invasive ultrasound-guided injections, administered by our highly skilled orthopedic specialists. This approach allows us to deliver medication directly to the source of your pain with remarkable precision. Real-time ultrasound imaging ensures that the treatment is targeted accurately, enhancing its effectiveness and minimizing potential side effects. These injections can significantly reduce your arthritis discomfort and improve mobility, enabling you to return to your everyday activities with renewed confidence.
However, we understand that every individual's journey with arthritis is unique. While we always strive to avoid surgical intervention whenever possible, there are cases where total joint replacement may be the best course of action. In such instances, our board-certified orthopedic surgeons, renowned for their expertise and dedication, are ready to assist. They are well-versed in the latest surgical techniques and committed to delivering the highest standard of care. This commitment to excellence, combined with our compassionate approach, ensures you receive the compassionate care you both need and deserve.
