Understanding Arthritis

Arthritis is a chronic condition that causes inflammation in the joints, leading to pain, stiffness, and swelling. There are various types of arthritis, including:   

• Osteoarthritis: A degenerative joint disease that occurs when the cartilage that cushions the ends of bones wears down over time.
• Rheumatoid arthritis: An autoimmune disease that causes the body's immune system to attack the joints, leading to inflammation and damage.   

Our Approach to Arthritis Pain Management

At Commonwealth Occupational Medicine, we take a multi-faceted approach to arthritis pain management. Our goal is to help you manage your symptoms, improve your quality of life, and reduce your reliance on pain medication.

Comprehensive Evaluation

Our initial step involves a thorough evaluation to accurately diagnose your condition and determine the underlying cause of your pain. This evaluation may include:

• Medical history review: We will review your medical history to identify any risk factors or underlying conditions that may be contributing to your arthritis.
• Physical examination: We will assess your joint range of motion, strength, and tenderness.
• Laboratory tests: We may order blood tests to check for inflammation markers or other conditions.

Customized Treatment Plans

Based on our assessment, we will develop a personalized treatment plan to address your specific needs. Our treatment options may include:

• Medications: We may prescribe medications to reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and slow the progression of joint damage.
• Physical therapy: Physical therapy can help improve joint mobility, strength, and flexibility.
• Occupational therapy: Occupational therapy can help you adapt your daily activities to reduce stress on your joints.
