Osteoarthritis occurs when the protective cartilage that cushions the ends of bones wears down over time, causing bones to rub against each other. This can result in pain, swelling, and difficulty in moving the affected joints. Dr. Alig uses a patient-centered approach to diagnose and treat osteoarthritis, conducting thorough evaluations to determine the severity of the condition and develop personalized treatment plans.
Treatment options at Dr. Shamim Alig's clinic may include medication to relieve pain and reduce inflammation, physical therapy to strengthen the muscles around the joints, lifestyle modifications to manage symptoms, and in some cases, surgical interventions such as joint replacement surgery. Dr. Alig emphasizes preventive care and patient education, helping individuals adopt strategies to manage their condition effectively and maintain an active lifestyle.
With a focus on improving patient outcomes and a commitment to excellence, Dr. Shamim Alig provides compassionate and expert care for those suffering from osteoarthritis.
