Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease that causes inflammation in the joints, leading to pain, swelling, stiffness, and progressive joint damage. If left untreated, RA can significantly impact mobility and quality of life. As an experienced orthopedic specialist in Ranchi, Dr. Ankur Saurav provides comprehensive care for patients suffering from RA, focusing on effective management and improved quality of life.
RA primarily affects the joints in the hands, knees, and feet, causing symptoms like joint tenderness, fatigue, and morning stiffness. Over time, it can lead to joint deformities and loss of function. Dr. Ankur Saurav specializes in diagnosing RA through a detailed clinical evaluation and advanced imaging techniques, ensuring accurate and timely treatment.
Treatment for RA often includes a combination of medications, such as disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) and biologics, to reduce inflammation and prevent further joint damage. Dr. Ankur also emphasizes physical therapy to maintain joint mobility and strengthen surrounding muscles. For advanced cases where joint damage is severe, surgical options like joint replacement or synovectomy may be recommended.
