Arthritis Treatment Clinic in Wylie TX

When arthritis flares up, the pain can last for a day or two or even a week or more. After that, the arthritis pain will get better. It likely will come back, though, but there are ways of addressing arthritis in the long term.

Arthritis is a chronic condition, which means it generally doesn’t go away on its own, but this doesn’t mean the symptoms can’t be relieved! Here at Mercy Medical Clinic, we can certainly help you in that area, and we can also address the condition itself. Our treatment approach addresses arthritis itself and will likely help to relieve your pain, not just in the short term, but in the long term too.

You might not have heard about it, but gout is a type of arthritis that is especially painful for a person. The condition happens when there are high levels of uric acid, a body waste product, in the bloodstream. The problem is that uric acid crystals form in the joint and surrounding tissues, causing an inflammatory response and significant pain. There are ways of treating gout and gout pain, and we have options available here at Mercy Medical Clinic.

There are some over-the-counter medications for arthritis, which include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). These can be very effective in managing pain and inflammation caused by osteoarthritis, the most common kind of arthritis. In some patient cases, corticosteroids will work well. The problem with drugs like these, however, is that they only treat the pain and not the underlying cause of the pain. There are problems with surgery too, but in some cases, it can be very effective.

To treat pain most effectively, it’s important to address both the pain and the condition itself.
