Joint Health: The Solution for Freedom of Movement

What are Joint Diseases?

Joint diseases are health problems caused by inflammation, arthritis, wear and tear or other disorders of the joints. These include arthritis (inflammation of the joints), bursitis (inflammation of the joint sac), tendonitis (inflammation of the tendons) and osteoarthritis (arthritis). These conditions can reduce joint mobility and negatively affect quality of life.

How are joint diseases diagnosed?

In our Joint Health Unit at Metropol Health Group, advanced methods are used to diagnose joint disorders:

• Physical Examination: Mobility and pain level in the joints are evaluated.
• Imaging Techniques: The structural condition of the joints is examined in detail with methods such as MRI, ultrasound and X-ray.
• Laboratory Tests: Blood tests and fluid analysis are used to look for signs of inflammation or infection.

As a result of these evaluations, the type and severity of the joint disorder is determined and the treatment plan is prepared accordingly.

Which Symptoms Are Seen?

Joint diseases usually manifest themselves with the following symptoms:

• Pain and swelling: Joint pain, especially during movement.
• Limitation of Movement: Stiffness and loss of flexibility that makes daily activities difficult.
• Noise Crunching or rubbing sound during joint movement.
• Muscle weakness Weakness in the muscles around the joints.

Treatment Options

Injection Treatments

• Corticosteroid Injections: Reduces joint inflammation quickly.
• Hyaluronic Acid Injections: Relieves pain and improves mobility by supporting joint fluid.

Surgical Interventions
