Understanding Arthritis: Types & Causes
Arthritis is not a single disease - it is an umbrella term for more than 100 conditions that cause joint pain, stiffness and swelling. In our Ludhiana practice, the three most commonly treated forms are osteoarthritis (wear-and-tear of cartilage, predominantly in knees and hips), rheumatoid arthritis (an autoimmune condition that attacks the joint lining), and post-traumatic arthritis (joint degeneration following a prior fracture or ligament injury).
Risk factors include age, obesity, family history, prior joint injuries and repetitive occupational stress. Early identification of the specific type guides more effective treatment and can significantly slow disease progression.
- Osteoarthritis - cartilage breakdown in weight-bearing joints
- Rheumatoid arthritis - systemic autoimmune joint inflammation
- Post-traumatic arthritis - secondary to injury or fracture
- Psoriatic arthritis - associated with psoriatic skin disease
- Gout - uric-acid crystal deposits causing acute flares
Who Should Seek Arthritis Evaluation?
Arthritis is often gradual, and many patients adjust their lifestyle around pain without realising treatment can substantially improve quality of life. You should book a consultation if you experience any of the following:
- Persistent joint pain lasting more than 6 weeks
- Morning stiffness that takes more than 30 minutes to ease
- Noticeable joint swelling, warmth or redness
- Reduced range of motion affecting daily tasks (climbing stairs, dressing)
- Joint deformity or bony prominences developing over time
- Pain that has stopped responding to over-the-counter analgesics
- Fatigue and general malaise accompanying joint symptoms (suggestive of inflammatory arthritis)
Treatment Approaches at Hunjan Hospital
Hunjan Hospital follows an evidence-based, stepwise treatment philosophy. Conservative care - including physiotherapy, weight management, orthotic supports and pharmacological management - is always the starting point. Our in-house physiotherapy team designs structured exercise programmes that strengthen the muscles around affected joints, reducing load and improving stability.
For patients who do not achieve adequate relief with conservative measures, minimally invasive options such as arthroscopic debridement (joint washout) or targeted injection therapies provide a middle path before major joint reconstruction becomes necessary. When the joint is significantly damaged, replacement surgery - using modern implants and, where appropriate, MAKO robotic-assisted precision - delivers reliable, long-term outcomes.
