Osteoarthritis

Autoimmune maladies can present a daunting task in terms of their identification and treatment. Such disorders arise when the immune system erroneously assaults healthy cells within the body, which results in inflammation and the detriment of tissue and organs. At the Buffalo Arthritis & Joint Pain Center, we are well-versed in the diagnosis and treatment of autoimmune conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA), lupus, and psoriatic arthritis.

RA is a persistent autoimmune disease that predominantly targets the joints. Its symptoms include agony, rigidity, and swelling within the joints, particularly those in the hands, wrists, and feet. RA can also prompt weariness, fever, and a loss of weight.

Lupus is yet another autoimmune malady that can afflict diverse bodily systems, including the skin, joints, and organs. Its symptoms may encompass a rash on the face, joint pain, weariness, and fever.

Psoriatic arthritis is a class of arthritis that can develop in certain individuals who have psoriasis, a skin disorder that causes red, scaly patches. Psoriatic arthritis symptoms may include joint pain, rigidity, and swelling, as well as nail alterations and weariness.

At the Buffalo Arthritis & Joint Pain Center, we take a comprehensive approach to treating autoimmune disorders.  We work in tandem with each patient to formulate an individualized treatment plan that caters to their specific requirements and objectives. Autoimmune issues can be difficult to manage, but with the right therapy and support, one can control their symptoms and improve their quality of life. At the Buffalo Arthritis & Joint Pain Center, we are committed to helping our patients with autoimmune disorders attain optimal health and well-being.

As experts in the field of osteoarthritis, the team at Buffalo Arthritis & Joint Pain Center understands how this condition can impact your daily life. Here are some of the most common causes of osteoarthritis:

1. Age: As we age, the cartilage in our joints can wear down, leading to osteoarthritis.
2. Obesity: Carrying extra weight puts additional stress on your joints, which can lead to osteoarthritis.
3. Previous injuries: If you've had a previous injury to a joint, you may be at a higher risk for developing osteoarthritis in that joint.
4. Genetics: Some people may be predisposed to developing osteoarthritis due to their genetics.

If you're experiencing symptoms of osteoarthritis, don't wait to seek treatment. At Buffalo Arthritis & Joint Pain Center, we are committed to helping our patients find relief from their symptoms so they can get back to doing the things they love.
