Arthritis
At Kalpavriksham, we provide specialized and holistic treatment for arthritis, a condition that causes inflammation and pain in the joints, affecting millions of people worldwide. Whether you’re suffering from osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or any other form of arthritis, our team is dedicated to helping you manage symptoms, reduce inflammation, and improve your quality of life. We offer an integrated approach combining modern medicine with traditional Siddha therapies to address the root causes and provide lasting relief.
Types of Arthritis We Treat
Osteoarthritis (OA): OA is the most common type of arthritis, where the protective cartilage in the joints breaks down, leading to pain, stiffness, and swelling. It primarily affects the knees, hips, and hands. At Kalpavriksham, we focus on reducing joint inflammation and improving mobility through a combination of therapies.
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA): RA is an autoimmune disorder where the immune system attacks healthy joint tissues, causing pain, swelling, and eventual joint deformity. Our treatment for RA aims to control the immune response, alleviate pain, and prevent joint damage.
Gout: Gout occurs due to the buildup of uric acid crystals in the joints, leading to sudden and severe pain, often in the big toe. We use a combination of pharmacological treatments, lifestyle changes, and Siddha therapies to manage gout flare-ups and prevent future episodes.
Psoriatic Arthritis: This form of arthritis occurs in people with psoriasis, leading to inflammation in the joints and skin rashes. Our holistic approach helps manage both skin symptoms and joint inflammation for better overall health.
Ankylosing Spondylitis: This is a form of arthritis that primarily affects the spine, causing pain and stiffness. At Kalpavriksham, we use advanced treatment methods to help reduce inflammation and improve spinal mobility.
Juvenile Arthritis: Juvenile arthritis refers to arthritis in children and can cause long-term pain and joint damage. We offer gentle, age-appropriate treatments to manage symptoms and support healthy development.
Comprehensive Treatment Approach for Arthritis
Pharmacological Treatment: We offer a range of medications to manage arthritis symptoms, including pain relievers, anti-inflammatory drugs, and disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) for autoimmune types like RA. Medications are carefully prescribed to reduce side effects while providing effective pain management.
Physical Therapy: Our experienced physiotherapists design personalized rehabilitation programs to help improve joint flexibility, strength, and mobility. Regular exercise and stretching can help reduce stiffness, enhance function, and prevent further joint deterioration.
Siddha Varma Therapy: Siddha Varma Therapy focuses on applying pressure to specific points on the body, known as “Varma points,” which helps reduce joint inflammation, improve circulation, and alleviate pain. This therapy is especially effective in managing chronic arthritis pain and enhancing joint mobility.
Siddha Karma (Massage Therapy): Siddha Karma, a therapeutic massage using herbal oils, helps reduce muscle stiffness and joint pain caused by arthritis. It also enhances blood flow to the affected areas, promoting faster healing and reducing inflammation.
Acupuncture: Acupuncture is used to stimulate specific points on the body to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and restore the body’s natural healing abilities. It is an effective adjunct therapy for managing arthritis-related pain.
Yoga and Meditation: Regular practice of yoga can greatly improve flexibility and joint function in individuals with arthritis. Meditation techniques are also used to reduce stress and manage pain, improving overall well-being.
Heat and Cold Therapy: Applying heat or cold to affected joints can help reduce inflammation and ease pain. Heat therapy relaxes muscles and relieves stiffness, while cold therapy helps numb the pain and reduce swelling.
Dietary Support: Diet plays an important role in managing arthritis. We provide personalized dietary plans focused on anti-inflammatory foods, including omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamins that help reduce inflammation and support joint health.
Lifestyle Modifications: Our specialists provide guidance on lifestyle changes such as weight management, ergonomic adjustments, and activity modifications to reduce strain on the joints and manage arthritis symptoms more effectively.
Chronic Pain Management: For patients dealing with chronic arthritis pain, we integrate various pain management strategies such as pharmacological treatments, physical therapy, Siddha therapies, and mind-body approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and relaxation techniques.
