• Higher among women (29.2%)
• Highest among non-Hispanic Blacks (42.3%)

Arthritis involves inflammation of the joints. Often worsening with age, arthritis can cause increasing pain and stiffness as time goes on. There are several different types of arthritis and various causes as well. Symptoms include pain, swelling, stiffness, and reduced range of motion.

Types of arthritis include:

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) – Symptoms of RA include tenderness and swelling in more than one joint, weakness, fatigue, weight loss, stiffness, and fever. RA is diagnosed through a physical exam, review of symptoms, X-rays, and lab tests. 

Osteoarthritis (OA) – Symptoms of OA include swelling, decreased range of motion, pain, and reduced flexibility. OA is diagnosed through lab tests, X-rays, and a physical exam. 

Fibromyalgia – Signs and symptoms include fatigue, migraines, digestive problems, depression, pain and stiffness, and sleep problems. Fibromyalgia is diagnosed using blood work, X-rays, and a physical exam. 

Childhood arthritis  – Symptoms include rash, joint pain, swelling, fever, fatigue, loss of appetite, and eye inflammation. Childhood arthritis is diagnosed through a physical exam, X-rays, and lab tests. 

Causes of arthritis include normal wear and tear, infection or injury to the joint, and family history of the disease. Age, weight, sex, family history, and previous joint injury are all risk factors. 

Fortunately, non-surgical treatment for arthritis is available. Our clinic offers methods like pain management, physical therapy, and injections. Whether you have OA, RA, or fibromyalgia, you can rest easy knowing that Central Medical Center has an effective, gentle care plan for you. 

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is increasingly common. Certain repetitive motions in everyday life, including typing, are partly responsible for millions of new diagnoses each year. 

Surprisingly, nearly half of carpal tunnel surgeries are unsuccessful. At Central Medical Center, we offer non-surgical alternatives for CTS. Pain in your hands affects every aspect of your daily life and makes even the simplest activities challenging.

Symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome include:

• Pain in the hand, wrist, or forearm
• Swelling of tissues/tendons
• Sensations of pins and needles
• Hand numbness or clumsiness
• Hand weakness

In some cases, CTS can cause pain even when your hand is not in use. Our clinic offers safe, non-invasive chiropractic care and physical rehab treatment options for CTS. Using advanced methods, your doctor will help you find relief from painful carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms.

A joint pain doctor can help you find relief from all types of joint pain, including carpal tunnel syndrome, arthritis, and joint injuries. Whether you were involved in a car accident or your joint pain is chronic, we can help you manage symptoms and find relief from your pain.
