Rheumatology-Arthritis center

Treatment

At Germanten Hospital, we follow surgical as well as non-surgical approaches for treatment. We don’t like to give our patients false hope. So, we should start by saying that there is no cure for rheumatoid arthritis. The only thing that can be done is keeping the symptoms under control.

1. Non-surgical options – This is the primary treatment process that is used for every patient to try to fix the problem without any surgical procedure:

•  NSAIDs – Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory drugs for reducing joint inflammation and relieving pain.
•  Steroids – These are also used for reducing the swelling and pain of the joint. It can also slow down the cartilage’s damage.
•  DMARDs – Disease-modifying Antirheumatic drugs are capable of slowing down arthritis’s effect on the joint saving the joint and other tissues from getting damaged.
•  Physical Therapy – With the help of our trained and certified therapist, you will be able to keep your joints flexible and healthy.

2. Surgical options – If any of the non-surgical methods don’t work for you, a surgical procedure might be required to restore your ability and revamp the quality of your life:

• Joint Fusion – In this, the joints are realigned to stabilize them and ease the symptoms and pain.
• Total Joint Replacement – During this procedure, the doctor will remove the damaged part and replace it with an artificial capping for refraining the edges of the bones from getting rubbed and causing discomfort and pain.
