Arthritis Q & A
What is arthritis?
Arthritis is a common condition that causes pain, stiffness, and swelling in the joints. It can affect people of all ages and may involve one joint or many. Over time, arthritis can make movement difficult, but with proper care, you can manage the symptoms effectively.
The most common forms include osteoarthritis, which results from wear-and-tear, and inflammatory arthritis, such as rheumatoid or psoriatic arthritis, which are caused by the immune system attacking the joints.
The Midwest Innovative Pain Management team begins by identifying the type and severity of arthritis, as well as any contributing factors. This detailed assessment enables them to design a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs and lifestyle.
What treatments are available for arthritis pain?
The Midwest Innovative Pain Management team uses a combination of medications, interventional procedures, and lifestyle approaches to help you achieve lasting relief. Depending on your condition, your treatment plan may include:
Medications
Options include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to reduce swelling and stiffness and topical creams or patches for targeted pain relief. Neuropathy (nerve pain) medications and low-dose antidepressants also help with chronic pain control.
If you have inflammatory arthritis, the team can coordinate with your rheumatologist to optimize your treatment.
Injections and interventional procedures
When medications and therapy aren’t enough, the Midwest Innovative Pain Management team offers advanced, minimally invasive options such as:
- Corticosteroid joint injections to reduce inflammation
- Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or stem cell–based injections to promote natural healing
- Nerve blocks to temporarily interrupt pain signals
- Radiofrequency ablation to disrupt small nerves carrying pain signals from arthritic joints
Nerve blocks and radiofrequency ablation typically target large joints, most often the genicular nerve in the knee.
Physical therapy and lifestyle management
Strong muscles and flexible joints can greatly reduce pain. The Midwest Innovative Pain Management team often recommends:
- Physical therapy and exercise programs
- Weight management to ease joint strain
- Bracing or supports for stability
- Ergonomic and activity modifications to protect joints during daily tasks
- A balanced, healthy diet
