Arthritis Pain

Don’t let arthritis joint
pain hold you back

Think joint pain is just part of aging? If it’s keeping you from daily activities or things you love, it could be arthritis. Over 53 million Americans live with arthritis pain, making it the top cause of work disability among adults. Don’t be one of the 1 in 5 who let pain limit their lives. At Maragal Medical, our joint pain specialists are here to help you reclaim your mobility and enjoy life.

Different types of arthritis

Arthritis affects the tissue lining of the joints, causing inflammation, pain, and in more severe cases, difficulty moving the joint. Arthritis is a broad term for joint pain and disease affecting joint tissue and movement. The two most common types are:

  • Osteoarthritis: Often age-related, this affects millions and results from joint wear and tear.
  • Rheumatoid Arthritis: An autoimmune condition that can affect joints and other parts of the body.

What causes arthritis? Common causes and symptoms

Arthritis may result from factors like genetics, joint injuries, immune disorders, or natural wear from aging. The most affected areas are the fingers, knees, and hips. You may have arthritis if you experience:

  • Lingering joint pain or swelling that lasts six weeks or longer.
  • Stiffness in the morning that lasts 30 minutes or longer.
  • Pain in more than one joint is affected, especially small joints in your hands, wrists, and feet.
  • Pain that radiates from the same joints on both sides of the body.

By identifying the cause of your arthritis, our pain management specialists can create a targeted, effective treatment plan. Often, people with other chronic conditions, such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease, have arthritis.

Non-surgical arthritis treatment and osteoarthritis therapy options

Surgeries like joint repair or replacement are costly, risky, and may limit mobility. It can also disrupt joint mechanics, potentially causing stress and arthritis in surrounding areas. Maragal Medical offers a range of effective, safe arthritis treatments designed to relieve pain and restore function — without surgery.
