What We Treat

Understanding Inflammatory Arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease where the immune system attacks the synovial lining of joints, causing chronic inflammation, pain, and progressive joint destruction. Unlike osteoarthritis, RA can affect people of any age and involves multiple joints simultaneously.

At Arun Ortho, we work closely with rheumatologists to provide an integrated approach — combining disease-modifying medications with orthopaedic interventions such as synovectomy and joint reconstruction when needed. Early, aggressive treatment prevents permanent joint damage.

Common Questions About
Rheumatoid Arthritis

What is the difference between osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis?
Osteoarthritis is caused by the mechanical wear-and-tear of joint cartilage over time. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own joint linings.
Is Rheumatoid Arthritis curable?
Currently, there is no cure for RA. However, modern treatments, including Disease-Modifying Antirheumatic Drugs (DMARDs) and biologics, can effectively manage symptoms, halt joint damage, and induce clinical remission.
Does RA only affect older people?
No, while the onset is highest in middle age, Rheumatoid Arthritis can start at any age, including in children and young adults (Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis).
How important is early diagnosis?
Early diagnosis is absolutely critical. Aggressive treatment in the early stages of RA can prevent irreversible joint destruction, deformities, and chronic disability down the line.
Can diet affect my Rheumatoid Arthritis symptoms?
Yes, many patients find relief by following an anti-inflammatory diet rich in Omega-3 fatty acids (like fish oil), antioxidants, and vegetables, while avoiding heavily processed foods and excess sugars.
