Arthritis isn’t just old age it is a complex group of over 100 conditions that cause inflammation, stiffness, and structural changes in your joints. Whether it is the “wear and tear” of Osteoarthritis or the immune-driven challenge of Rheumatoid Arthritis, the goal at Allevia is the same: to stop the progression of pain and restore your active lifestyle.
Pain, or arthralgia, is your body’s alarm system. It may feel like a dull ache after a day of gardening or a sharp, burning sensation when climbing stairs. Common “hot zones” for arthritis include:
A healthy spine relies on a delicate balance of several components working in harmony
The most common form, occurring when the slippery cartilage at the end of your bones wears down.
An autoimmune condition where the body mistakenly attacks the lining of the joints.
Caused by needle-like uric acid crystals forming inside the joint space.
A specific type of arthritis that primarily targets the spine and pelvis.
We don’t just treat the pain; we map the damage. Our Houston specialists utilize:
High-Definition MRI: To visualize soft tissues like tendons and ligaments.
Diagnostic Ultrasound: Used to see fluid buildup (effusion) and guide needles with 100% accuracy.
Laboratory Analysis: Blood and joint fluid testing to identify autoimmune markers or crystal formations.
Surgery should be your last option, not your first. We offer a “multi-modal” approach to keep you out of the operating room:
Viscosupplementation (Gel Injections): For knee arthritis, we inject a specialized lubricant that mimics natural joint fluid, allowing for smooth, pain-free movement.
Corticosteroid Injections: Rapidly reduces “flare-up” inflammation to provide immediate relief.
Biologic Coordination: Advanced medication management for RA and Psoriatic Arthritis.
Integrated Physical Therapy: Targeted “low-impact” strengthening to take the pressure off your joints and put it back on your muscles.
Don’t let stiff joints keep you on the sidelines. Reclaim your mobility with Houston’s joint specialists.
Maintaining a healthy weight is the #1 way to protect your joints. Additionally, switching to low-impact exercises (like swimming or cycling) and avoiding tobacco can significantly slow joint degeneration.
If your knee pain is accompanied by swelling, a "grinding" sensation, or if your joint feels like it might "give out," it’s time for a professional evaluation at our Houston knee pain center.
Accuracy is everything. By using ultrasound or fluoroscopy, our doctors ensure the medication reaches the exact millimeter of the joint space, leading to better results and less discomfort during the procedure.
We provide expert pain management care to relieve pain, restore mobility enhance recovery.
