Hip, Knee & Shoulder Arthritis
Joint stiffness, swelling, and aching that limits walking, climbing stairs, or reaching overhead.
Overview
Osteoarthritis and inflammatory arthritis gradually erode cartilage and inflame the joint lining, causing pain, swelling, and progressive loss of range of motion. Dr Raj Anand takes a non-surgical first approach.
Common Symptoms
- Deep aching in the knee, hip, or shoulder joints
- Stiffness after resting that takes time to loosen
- Frozen shoulder or restricted arm movement
- Painful bursitis or tendon irritation
Common Causes
- Age-related cartilage degeneration (osteoarthritis)
- Rheumatoid or psoriatic inflammatory arthritis
- Post-traumatic arthritis following fractures or ligament injury
- Bursitis, tendinopathy, or rotator cuff degeneration in the shoulder
- Obesity or biomechanical overload on weight-bearing joints
Our Treatment Approach
- Ultrasound-guided corticosteroid joint injections
- Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy for early-stage arthritis
- Hyaluronic acid viscosupplementation for knee joints
- Suprascapular nerve block for refractory shoulder pain
- Coordinated rehabilitation with physiotherapy
When to Seek Help
See a specialist promptly if your joint is hot, red, and significantly swollen, or if pain is no longer controlled by medications.
