Don't Let Arthritis Slow You Down: Expert Tips for Lasting Joint Relief

Do you find yourself hesitating before climbing stairs or getting out of bed? Joint stiffness and aching can make daily activities feel like major hurdles. 

At Integrity Orthopedics, we understand how frustrating joint pain can be when it limits your life. At our Katy, Texas, office, Pavel Muradov, MD, and our team help people find practical ways to manage hip and knee pain and stay as active as possible. We serve people from Katy, Sugar Land, Cypress, Houston, and surrounding communities.

Our goal is to help you return to the activities you love.

What is arthritis and why does it cause joint pain? 

Arthritis is a general term for inflammation and wear in your joints. The most common type is osteoarthritis, which happens when protective cartilage wears down over time. Without this natural cushioning, your bones rub together, causing friction, swelling, and stiffness. 

This wear often affects the knees and hips, making simple movements uncomfortable. We can evaluate what may be causing your knee pain and hip pain. Understanding your joint health is the first step toward finding relief.

How can conservative treatments relieve your joint pain? 

Many patients find lasting relief without needing surgery. We offer several nonsurgical options to manage your arthritis treatment plan. 

Targeted therapies

Depending on the injection type and the cause of your pain, injections may reduce symptoms and make it easier to stay active.

Physical rehabilitation

Our on-site physical therapy program helps strengthen the muscles around your joints. Our physical therapy clinic offers convenient appointment times throughout the week to fit your busy schedule.

We provide weight management guidance to help reduce the physical stress on your lower body. 

Our team focuses on multimodal pain control to keep you comfortable during recovery. We tailor these conservative options to your unique lifestyle and goals.

When should you consider joint replacement surgery? 

If conservative treatments no longer keep your pain at bay, surgery may be the next step. Severe joint damage can make even resting uncomfortable. Dr. Muradov has over a decade of experience in orthopedic care. 

We offer total knee replacement to rebuild damaged knee joints. We also perform total hip replacement to restore smooth, comfortable hip movement. These procedures use minimally invasive techniques to support a smoother recovery. We guide you through every step of preparation and rehabilitation.

You do not have to let joint stiffness dictate your daily routine. Whether you need physical therapy, pain-relieving injections, or a joint evaluation, we are here to support you. Dr. Muradov is fluent in Russian, and our staff is fluent in Spanish. To take your first step toward lasting relief, schedule a visit with our team today.
