Advanced Arthritis Protocol at Palomar Spine and Pain: Comprehensive Relief for Chronic Pain

Arthritis is a debilitating condition that affects millions of people worldwide, causing joint pain, inflammation, and restricted movement. At Palomar Spine and Pain, we understand how arthritis can impact your quality of life. That’s why we’ve developed our Advanced Arthritis Protocol—a comprehensive treatment plan designed to alleviate pain, improve mobility, and help you regain control over your life.

Understanding Arthritis: A Complex Condition

Arthritis isn't a single disease but a general term referring to more than 100 different types of joint disorders. The most common forms include:

• Osteoarthritis: Degenerative joint disease that typically affects older adults due to wear and tear of cartilage.

• Rheumatoid Arthritis: An autoimmune disorder where the immune system attacks joint tissues.

• Psoriatic Arthritis: A form of arthritis that affects some people with psoriasis, causing joint pain and skin issues.

• Gout: A type of arthritis caused by the buildup of uric acid crystals in the joints.

Each type of arthritis requires a specialized approach to treatment, which is where the Advanced Arthritis Protocol at Palomar Spine and Pain comes into play.

What is the Advanced Arthritis Protocol?

Our Advanced Arthritis Protocol is a multi-disciplinary treatment plan tailored to address the specific type and severity of arthritis in each patient. We integrate cutting-edge medical techniques with holistic therapies to provide long-lasting relief. Here's what our protocol includes:

1. Comprehensive Diagnosis

Every patient undergoes a thorough diagnostic evaluation to determine the type and extent of arthritis. This often includes:

• Physical examination

• Imaging tests like X-rays, MRIs, or CT scans

• Blood tests to check for inflammatory markers or autoimmune activity

2. Personalized Pain Management Plans

Once we understand your condition, we create a customized pain management plan. Depending on the type and stage of arthritis, treatment may include:

• Medications: Anti-inflammatory drugs, pain relievers, and disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) for autoimmune arthritis.

• Joint Injections: Corticosteroid or hyaluronic acid injections can reduce inflammation and improve joint lubrication, easing movement.

• Biologic Therapies: For conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, biologics target specific parts of the immune system to reduce inflammation and prevent further joint damage.

3. Regenerative Medicine

Palomar Spine and Pain is a leader in using regenerative medicine to treat arthritis. This innovative approach focuses on promoting the body’s natural healing processes. Our regenerative therapies include:

• Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy: A concentration of the patient's own platelets is injected into the affected joint to stimulate tissue repair.

• Stem Cell Therapy: Using stem cells derived from the patient’s own body or a donor, this treatment helps regenerate damaged cartilage and reduce inflammation.

4. Minimally Invasive Procedures

For patients with more advanced arthritis, we offer minimally invasive procedures that provide significant relief without the need for open surgery. These include:

• Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA): A non-surgical technique that uses heat to deactivate nerve signals from painful arthritic joints.

• Arthroscopy: A minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat joint issues, helping to remove damaged tissue and reduce pain.

5. Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation

Physical therapy is an essential component of arthritis treatment. Our licensed therapists create customized exercise programs aimed at:

• Strengthening muscles around the affected joint

• Improving flexibility and range of motion

• Reducing stiffness and pain

By incorporating physical therapy into the Advanced Arthritis Protocol, we help patients maintain joint health and mobility.

6. Lifestyle Modifications and Holistic Therapies

Managing arthritis isn’t just about medical treatments. Our team at Palomar Spine and Pain works closely with patients to incorporate lifestyle changes that can significantly impact their condition. These include:

• Nutritional Guidance: Eating an anti-inflammatory diet rich in omega-3s, antioxidants, and other nutrients can help manage arthritis symptoms.

• Weight Management: Reducing excess body weight takes pressure off your joints, alleviating pain and slowing disease progression.

• Holistic Therapies: Acupuncture, chiropractic care, and massage therapy are integrated into our protocol to help reduce pain and improve overall well-being.
