Unilateral primary osteoarthritis is a form of osteoarthritis that affects only one side of the body, typically involving a single joint. At Align Health, we understand the impact of this condition on your joint health and overall well-being, and our dedicated team of healthcare professionals is committed to providing targeted management, relieving pain, and promoting joint function.
Understanding Unilateral Primary Osteoarthritis:
Unilateral primary osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint condition that primarily affects one side of the body, often involving a single joint. It is characterized by the gradual breakdown of cartilage, leading to joint pain, swelling, stiffness, and reduced mobility in the affected area.
Comprehensive Evaluation:
At Align Health, we begin the management process by conducting a comprehensive evaluation of your unilateral primary osteoarthritis. Our experienced healthcare providers will review your medical history, discuss your symptoms, and perform a physical examination, including imaging studies if necessary, to assess the severity of the joint degeneration.
Personalized Treatment Plan:
Based on the evaluation, we will create a tailored treatment plan that addresses the specific joint affected by unilateral primary osteoarthritis. The plan may include a combination of the following approaches:
Pain Management: Various pain-relieving techniques, such as cold laser therapy, ultrasound, or electrical stimulation, may be used to alleviate joint pain.
Chiropractic Care: Gentle adjustments can help improve joint function, reduce misalignments, and relieve pressure on the affected joint.
Physical Therapy: Customized exercises and stretches will be prescribed to strengthen the muscles around the affected joint, improve flexibility, and support joint health.
Assistive Devices: We may recommend the use of joint braces or other assistive devices to provide support and improve joint stability.
Lifestyle Modifications: We may provide recommendations on lifestyle changes, such as adopting a joint-friendly exercise routine and avoiding activities that exacerbate joint pain.
