What is a Transaction?

Joint degeneration occurs when joints wear and tear over time. It usually occurs as part of the aging process and is commonly known as arthritis. This can cause problems such as pain, stiffness and restricted movement in the joints.

How is it done?

At our clinic in Cigli, Izmir, advanced diagnostic methods are used to diagnose joint degeneration. Our doctors make an initial assessment by listening to the patient’s complaints and performing a joint examination. If necessary, X-rays, MRI and other imaging methods are used to examine the level of joint damage and degeneration in detail. Depending on the patient’s condition and the severity of the degeneration, the treatment process is planned with medication, injections, physical therapy or surgical interventions.

What are the Symptoms?

Symptoms of joint degeneration can be:

  • Joint pain and stiffness
  • Limitation of movement and loss of flexibility
  • Swelling and tenderness in the joint
  • Friction or crunching sound when joints are moved
  • Decline in muscle strength over time

What are the Treatment Methods?

  • Medication Treatments: Pain and inflammation are controlled with painkillers, anti-inflammatory drugs and joint protectors.
  • Injections Corticosteroid injections or intra-articular injections with hyaluronic acid can help reduce inflammation and pain.
  • Physical Therapy Special exercise programs are applied to increase joint movements and flexibility.
  • Surgical Interventions: In advanced cases, arthroscopy, joint replacement or other surgical methods are used to correct joint damage.

These treatment methods aim to preserve joint function and enable patients to perform their activities of daily living more comfortably.
