Causes of Joint Pain
Joint pain can arise from a variety of conditions, including:
- Arthritis: Osteoarthritis (OA) or rheumatoid arthritis (RA)
- Bursitis: Inflammation of the cushioning pads around joints
- Gout: Uric acid buildup in the joints
- Tendinitis: Inflammation of tendons
- Chondromalacia patella: Cartilage breakdown under the kneecap
- Injuries or overuse: Trauma or repetitive strain
- Infections: Bacterial or viral infections affecting joints
- Other medical conditions: Lupus, osteoporosis, sarcoidosis, or certain cancers
Joint pain may develop gradually over time or appear suddenly after an injury. It can affect mobility, limit daily activities, and reduce overall quality of life. Common problem areas include the hips and knees, shoulders, and feet.
Non-Surgical Treatment for Joint Pain
Our clinic specializes in non-surgical treatments designed to reduce pain, restore function, and improve joint health. These therapies can help patients avoid more invasive procedures, such as joint replacement, or long-term use of prescription pain medications. Treatment options may include:
- PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) Therapy: Uses your body’s own platelets and growth factors to support natural healing in joints
- Joint injections: Target pain and inflammation directly in the joint
- Physical rehabilitation: Strengthens surrounding muscles to support and protect the joint
- Therapeutic ultrasound: Reduces inflammation and improves range of motion
- Functional medicine: Addresses underlying inflammation and metabolic factors
- Personalized care plans: Tailored to the cause, location, and severity of your pain
These treatments can help restore mobility, improve strength, and allow you to resume daily activities with less pain. We provide joint pain care for patients from Dickinson, League City, Texas City, Galveston, La Marque, and Friendswood.
