Arthritis is a common condition characterized by inflammation, pain, stiffness, and reduced movement of one or more joints. It can affect people of all ages, though it is more common with increasing age. Arthritis may progress gradually, significantly impacting mobility, independence, and quality of life if not treated early.
Under the expert care of Dr. Dnyaneshwar, an experienced Orthopaedic and Joint Replacement Surgeon in Bangalore, arthritis is managed with a comprehensive, patient-centric approach focused on pain relief, joint preservation, and long-term functional improvement.
Arthritis can affect various joints such as the knee, hip, shoulder, spine, and hands. Common types include:
Osteoarthritis – age-related wear and tear of joints
Rheumatoid arthritis – autoimmune inflammatory arthritis
Post-traumatic arthritis – following joint injury or fracture
Inflammatory arthritis – related to systemic conditions
Degenerative arthritis – progressive cartilage damage
Early diagnosis helps slow disease progression.
Common symptoms include:
Joint pain that worsens with activity
Stiffness, especially in the morning or after rest
Swelling and tenderness around joints
Reduced range of motion
Joint deformity in advanced stages
Difficulty walking, gripping, or performing daily tasks
Symptoms may vary depending on the type and severity of arthritis.
Arthritis may develop due to:
Age-related cartilage degeneration
Genetic predisposition
Obesity and increased joint stress
Autoimmune disorders
Previous joint injuries
Repetitive joint strain
Sedentary lifestyle
Understanding the cause helps guide personalized treatment.
Consult Dr. Dnyaneshwar if:
Joint pain persists for more than a few weeks
Stiffness limits daily activities
Swelling or deformity increases
Pain interferes with sleep or mobility
Medications no longer provide relief
Early medical care can prevent irreversible joint damage.
Diagnosis involves:
Detailed clinical examination
Assessment of joint movement and stability
X-rays to evaluate cartilage loss and joint space narrowing
MRI for early or complex cases
Blood tests for inflammatory or autoimmune arthritis
Functional assessment of daily activity limitation
Accurate diagnosis is essential for effective treatment planning.
Most patients benefit from conservative care:
Pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory medications
Physiotherapy and joint-strengthening exercises
Weight management and lifestyle modification
Joint injections (steroids or viscosupplementation)
Bracing or supportive aids
These treatments aim to control pain and preserve joint function.
Recommended for advanced arthritis:
Arthroscopic procedures in early stages

Minimally invasive techniques for faster recovery
Surgical decisions are individualized based on symptoms and joint damage.
