What Is Joint Pain?
Finding relief from joint pain can help you get back to doing what you love. Joint pain is discomfort, aches, or soreness in any of your joints. Whether you're experiencing pain in the elbow joint, pain in the thumb joint, or other areas of the body, our team at North Texas Institute of Neurology, Rheumatology & Headache can help guide you through effective solutions. Most joint aches and pains occur because of rheumatoid arthritis, injuries, or wear and tear on the cartilage that cushions your bones. Joint pain causes vary widely, from minor strains and hydration to more complex health issues like autoimmune diseases. As your body ages, joints may also lose flexibility, causing joint pain and weakness. Hormonal changes, such as those seen in menopause, also play a role. Schedule a consultation at our Frisco or Plano, TX practice to learn which treatment will provide the most relief from joint pain.
How Is Joint Pain Treated?
Our neurology practice offers several options for joint pain relief based on your specific needs. We focus on both joint pain treatment and long-term management. Your treatment plan could include medication, physical therapy, or noninvasive procedures designed to reduce inflammation and restore mobility. We use a variety of approaches, such as anti-inflammatory medications, steroid injections, and joint lubricants, to ease discomfort. Minimally invasive therapies may stimulate the body's healing process. These therapies help decrease the need for more invasive surgical procedures.
What Are the Symptoms of Joint Pain?
The intensity and frequency of joint pain symptoms can differ for everyone. Pain can be localized in smaller joints, such as your hands and thumbs, or larger joints, such as the knees or hips. Early diagnosis and joint pain treatment can prevent further damage and reduce the risk of developing a chronic condition. Common symptoms that often accompany joint aches and pains include:
- Swelling around the joint
- Redness or warmth to the touch
- Stiffness, especially after rest
- Loss of range of motion
- Sharp pain in specific joints, like the thumb or elbow
- A dull ache that comes and goes
