Swelling & Inflammation Management
Swelling & Inflammation Management
Swelling and inflammation are the body’s natural responses to injury, overuse, or underlying conditions like arthritis or infection. While mild cases may resolve on their own, persistent or painful swelling can signal a deeper issue that needs medical attention. At Dr Bhatia Joint & Spine Clinic in Hoshiarpur, we specialize in identifying the root cause of inflammation and providing targeted treatment to reduce pain, improve mobility, and prevent long-term joint damage.
Whether your symptoms stem from an injury, chronic condition, or unexplained flare-up, we offer safe, effective solutions to restore comfort and function.
Common Causes We Treat
At Dr Bhatia Joint & Spine Clinic, we treat a wide range of conditions that lead to swelling and inflammation in the joints, muscles, and surrounding tissues. Some of the most frequent causes include:
- Joint Injuries – Sprains, strains, and dislocations often result in acute swelling.
- Osteoarthritis – Cartilage breakdown can trigger joint inflammation and stiffness.
- Rheumatoid Arthritis – An autoimmune condition that causes chronic joint swelling.
- Tendonitis & Bursitis – Inflammation of tendons or fluid-filled sacs from overuse or pressure.
- Post-Fracture Swelling – Swelling is common during the bone healing process.
- Infections – Bacterial or viral infections can lead to localized swelling and redness.
- Post-Surgical Inflammation – Normal healing response after orthopaedic procedures.
- Gout – Sudden, severe joint inflammation caused by uric acid crystal buildup.
Understanding the cause is key to delivering the right treatment and avoiding long-term joint complications.
Our Diagnostic Approach
At Dr Bhatia Joint & Spine Clinic, accurate diagnosis is the first step toward effective treatment. We follow a structured process to identify the exact cause of your swelling or inflammation and rule out any serious underlying conditions.
Step-by-Step Evaluation
- Physical Examination We assess the affected area for tenderness, warmth, stiffness, and range of motion.
- Medical History Review We discuss your symptoms, injury history, daily activities, and any previous joint problems.
- Imaging Tests X-rays, ultrasound, or MRI may be used to detect joint damage, fluid buildup, or tissue changes.
- Laboratory Tests (if needed) Blood tests to check for infection, autoimmune markers, or uric acid levels in suspected gout cases.
Our precise diagnostic approach helps us create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your condition and recovery goals.
