Joint Pain

Joint pain is a widespread issue that can affect any joint in the body, leading to discomfort, swelling, stiffness, and reduced mobility. Dr. Peeyush Yadav explains that joint pain may arise from various causes, including arthritis (osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis), injuries, bursitis, gout, or underlying infections. Through a comprehensive evaluation, Dr. Yadav identifies the root cause by assessing medical history, physical examination, and diagnostic tests such as X-rays or blood work. Treatment is tailored according to the severity and cause of pain. In mild to moderate cases, he recommends conservative approaches like physiotherapy, anti-inflammatory medications, and joint-supporting exercises to strengthen muscles and maintain flexibility. Herbal supplements and dietary changes may also be advised to reduce inflammation naturally. For chronic or severe joint damage, advanced treatments such as intra-articular injections or surgical interventions may be necessary to restore joint function. Dr. Yadav emphasizes a holistic and preventive approach, educating patients on weight management, joint protection techniques, and activity modifications to slow disease progression. His goal is not only to relieve pain but also to improve joint health, prevent further deterioration, and enhance the overall quality of life. Early diagnosis and proper care are crucial in managing joint pain effectively.
