Let Us Help With Your Pain Management Treatment

Arthritis is a common cause of chronic joint pain and reduced mobility, especially among older adults. The two most prevalent types—osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis—affect millions of people and can impact quality of life without proper care. At Lifespring Pain Management Center, we help patients manage arthritis symptoms, reduce inflammation, and stay active through evidence-based therapies tailored to each individual.

WHAT YOU WANT TO KNOW

Understanding Arthritis

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint condition where the protective cartilage between bones wears away over time, leading to bone-on-bone friction.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease where the immune system mistakenly attacks the joint lining, leading to inflammation, pain, and joint damage.

Both forms of arthritis can impact the knees, hips, hands, and spine, causing chronic discomfort and stiffness that interferes with everyday activities.

Osteoarthritis is primarily caused by aging and joint wear-and-tear, but it can also be triggered by:

Past injuries or trauma
Repetitive motion or overuse
Obesity or excess joint stress

Rheumatoid arthritis develops when the body’s immune system attacks healthy joint tissues. While the exact cause is unknown, it’s believed to be influenced by:

Genetics
Environmental triggers
Hormonal factors

Patients with arthritis often report:

Joint pain, tenderness, or swelling
Stiffness, especially in the morning or after periods of inactivity
Limited mobility or reduced range of motion
Fatigue, low-grade fever, and general malaise (more common in RA)
Difficulty with everyday tasks like walking, gripping, or writing

Left unmanaged, these symptoms can lead to weight gain, muscle weakness, and a reduced quality of life due to decreased physical activity.

Although arthritis is not curable, Lifespring Pain Management Center offers multiple strategies to manage symptoms and slow progression:

Non-Surgical Treatments

Anti-inflammatory medications to reduce joint swelling and improve comfort
Corticosteroid joint injections for targeted relief without systemic side effects
Lifestyle modifications, such as weight management and low-impact exercise
Physical therapy to enhance joint flexibility and strength
Alternative therapies, including regenerative medicine or PRP (where applicable)

If conservative care is no longer effective, we may refer patients for joint replacement surgery in collaboration with trusted orthopedic specialists. These procedures remove damaged joints and replace them with prosthetic components for restored function.
