Joint Orthopedics: Relief from Joint Pain at Emerald Avenue Medical Clinic, JBR, Dubai Marina
Millions of people suffer from joint pain. Research from Ruhr Universität Bochum shows that two out of five people aged 40 to 49 experience it. Yet, only one in three seek medical help. Thankfully, early treatment often provides quick relief.
Causes of Joint Pain
Joint pain often comes from injuries or degenerative conditions. Injuries from sports, physical activity, or work can damage tendons, cartilage, ligaments, and bones. Wear-and-tear conditions like arthritis usually result from uneven or excessive strain on the joint. Sports injuries, like knee tears (ACL, meniscus), shoulder injuries (rotator cuff, labrum), and others, can lead to early arthritis if untreated.
Early diagnosis of arthritis offers better recovery chances. If diagnosed late, artificial joint replacement may be the only solution. Inflammatory conditions, like rheumatoid arthritis, occur when the body attacks its own joint tissue. Early treatment is crucial to prevent permanent damage.
Diagnosis of Joint Pain
Joint pain can have many causes. Autoimmune diseases, infections, and metabolic disorders can also affect the joints. To find the cause, our specialists perform a thorough exam and use advanced imaging tools like ultrasound, X-rays, MRI, or CT scans. With this information, we create a personalized treatment plan for each patient.
Treatment Options for Joint Pain
Conservative Treatments
We offer a variety of conservative treatments. First, we use minimally invasive pain management techniques, such as medications to ease pain and reduce inflammation. Depending on the cause, we recommend physiotherapy, muscle strengthening, and joint-friendly exercises like swimming or cycling. We also offer heat/cold therapy, electrotherapy, ultrasound, hyaluronic acid injections, and PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy. For certain cases, orthopaedic aids like braces or custom shoe inserts can help.
Surgical Treatments
If conservative treatments don’t work, or if there’s significant joint damage, surgery may be necessary. We use minimally invasive techniques that minimize tissue damage and speed up recovery. Arthroscopy (keyhole surgery) is very effective for treating meniscus tears, cartilage damage, and ligament injuries in the knee, shoulder, ankle, and hip joints.
For advanced cartilage damage, we use cartilage cell transplantation. This procedure involves removing healthy cartilage cells, growing them in a lab, and then re-implanting them to restore joint function and relieve pain.
In cases of severe wear-and-tear, joint replacement surgery may be the best option. We replace the damaged joint with a custom implant. These procedures are minimally invasive, ensuring quicker recovery.
