FAQs

What joints are commonly affected by arthritis?

Can arthritis be treated without surgery?

Yes. Many patients manage symptoms with non-surgical treatments such as therapy, medication, injections, and activity modification.

When should I see a specialist for arthritis?

If joint pain, stiffness, or swelling lasts more than a few weeks or interferes with daily activities, an orthopedic evaluation may be appropriate.

Does arthritis always get worse over time?

Some forms of arthritis progress gradually, while others remain stable. Symptom management may help reduce joint stress over time.

Is arthritis only related to aging?

No. Arthritis can affect younger adults due to injury, overuse, or inflammatory conditions.
