Arthiritis Treatment
in Missouri & Illinois
Arthiritis
Arthiritis is inflammation of one or more of your joints. This can cause tremendous pain and stiffness in joints. There are many forms of arthiritis, but all potentially make it difficult to remain active. Unfortunately, there is no cure for arthritis, but our providers have many great treatment options to get you back on your feet! Schedule an appointment with one of our providers to see what your options are.
Treatment
Arthritis treatment varies due to the severity of the patient’s arthritis and the specific joint(s) effected. There are conservative treatment options to lessen the discomfort resulting from arthritis and keep patients active. Nonsurgical treatments may include: Lifestyle modifications, oral/topical medications, custom orthotics/bracing, physical therapy, and assistive devices. In more severe cases, surgical intervention may be the best option to treat an arthritic joint. There are multiple surgical treatments that may be used to relieve arthritis, ranging from an arthroscopic debridement to a total joint replacement. Dr. Lindsay Barth was the 1st podiatrist to perform a Wright INBONE Total Ankle Surgical Replacement in September of 2007.
