Understanding Back Arthritis & Spondylitis
Back arthritis and spondylitis are common degenerative conditions that affect the spine, causing pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. Arthritis is a broad term used to describe joint inflammation, while spondylitis specifically refers to inflammatory arthritis affecting the spine.
Causes and Risk Factors
Back arthritis and spondylitis can be caused by various factors, including age, genetics, autoimmune disorders, infection, and wear and tear over time. It is more prevalent in older adults and individuals with a family history of arthritis or spondylitis.
Symptoms
The symptoms of back arthritis and spondylitis can vary from person to person. Common symptoms include:
- Back pain or stiffness
- Pain that worsens with movement
- Reduced range of motion
- Morning stiffness
- Fatigue
- Pain in other joints
- Numbness or tingling
- Muscle weakness
Treatment Options
At Regency Square Care Center, we believe in a comprehensive approach to managing and treating back arthritis and spondylitis. Our experienced team evaluates each patient's unique condition and develops personalized treatment plans that may include:
1. Medications
Prescription medications, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), corticosteroids, disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), and biologics, may be recommended to reduce pain, inflammation, and slow the progression of the disease. Our medical professionals closely monitor medication usage to ensure patient safety and efficacy.
2. Physical Therapy
Physical therapy plays a crucial role in managing back arthritis and spondylitis. Our skilled physical therapists design customized exercise programs to improve flexibility, strengthen the muscles around the spine, and enhance overall mobility. We also provide guidance on proper posture and body mechanics to minimize strain on the back.
3. Lifestyle Modifications
Our team emphasizes the importance of healthy lifestyle modifications to support long-term management of back arthritis and spondylitis. This may include weight management, regular exercise, stress reduction techniques, and adopting proper ergonomics to reduce strain on the back during daily activities.
4. Assistive Devices and Orthotics
In some cases, assistive devices such as braces, canes, or orthotics (customized shoe inserts) may be recommended to provide additional support and alleviate pain during daily activities. Our experts evaluate each individual's needs and suggest appropriate assistive devices when necessary.
5. Injections
Corticosteroid injections or joint lubricant injections may be administered to provide temporary pain relief and reduce inflammation. Our skilled healthcare professionals perform these procedures safely and effectively, targeting specific areas of concern.
6. Surgical Intervention
In severe cases or when conservative treatments fail to provide adequate relief, surgical intervention may be considered. Our trusted team of surgeons specializes in various back surgeries, such as spinal fusion or joint replacement, to address specific anatomical issues and relieve pain.
