What is Arthritis Pain?

Arthritis pain is caused by inflammation and degeneration in the joints, which can lead to stiffness, swelling, and reduced mobility. Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis are two common types. Treatment often includes anti-inflammatory medications, joint injections, physical therapy, and lifestyle modifications.

At Spine Team Texas, we tailor treatment plans to each patient’s needs, using both traditional and advanced interventional options to reduce pain and support long-term joint health.
