Arthritis is a group of conditions that can affect the joints and cause pain, stiffness, swelling and difficulty with movement. It can affect people of different ages and may involve the knees, hips, shoulders, hands and other joints. When arthritis progresses, symptoms can begin to interfere with walking, climbing stairs, exercising and everyday activities.
Arthritis treatment in Navi Mumbai depends on the type of arthritis, the joint affected, severity of symptoms, age, overall health and how the condition affects daily life. At Joint Robo, Dr. Pramod Bhor provides orthopaedic evaluation and personalised treatment options for patients experiencing arthritis and joint-related problems.

Arthritis refers to a group of conditions that affect the joints. Different forms of arthritis have different causes and may require different approaches to treatment.
Common symptoms can include:
The symptoms and severity can vary considerably between individuals.
Osteoarthritis is a common form of arthritis associated with changes and deterioration of the structures within a joint over time. It frequently affects weight-bearing joints such as the knees and hips.
Knee osteoarthritis can cause pain, stiffness, reduced movement and difficulty with activities such as walking or climbing stairs.
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune condition that can affect multiple joints. It may cause pain, swelling and prolonged stiffness.
Management of rheumatoid arthritis may require care from a rheumatologist along with appropriate orthopaedic evaluation when structural joint problems develop.
Post-traumatic arthritis can develop following an injury to a joint. Previous fractures, ligament injuries or other significant trauma may contribute to later joint problems.
There are several other types of arthritis and inflammatory joint conditions. Correct diagnosis is important because treatment differs according to the underlying condition.
Arthritis symptoms can develop gradually or may become noticeable following an injury or flare-up.
Common symptoms include:
If symptoms persist or progressively interfere with daily activities, an orthopaedic evaluation can help identify the cause.
You should consider an evaluation if:
Early evaluation can help determine the cause and identify appropriate treatment options.
Arthritis diagnosis begins with a detailed medical history and physical examination.
Your doctor may assess:
Depending on the suspected condition, investigations may include:
The goal is to identify the type and severity of arthritis and understand how much it is affecting the joint.
There is no single treatment that is appropriate for every type of arthritis. Treatment should be based on the underlying condition and individual patient requirements.
Depending on the affected joint and severity of symptoms, lifestyle modifications may help manage symptoms.
These may include:
Physiotherapy can help improve joint movement, muscle strength and functional ability.
An exercise programme may focus on:
Exercises should be selected according to the affected joint and patient's condition.
Depending on the type of arthritis and individual medical history, a doctor may recommend medication to manage pain or inflammation.
Medication should be used only according to professional medical advice.
In selected cases, injections may be considered for symptom management. Whether an injection is appropriate depends on the diagnosis, affected joint and individual circumstances.
Surgery may be considered when structural joint damage causes significant pain and functional limitations and appropriate non-surgical treatments no longer provide sufficient relief.
The type of surgery depends on the condition affecting the joint.
The knee is one of the joints commonly affected by osteoarthritis. As knee arthritis progresses, patients may experience increasing pain, stiffness and difficulty with walking.
Treatment may include:
The appropriate treatment depends on the severity and pattern of joint damage.
Knee replacement is generally considered for selected patients with significant joint damage and persistent symptoms that substantially affect their quality of life.
Factors that may be considered include:
Knee replacement should not be based on an X-ray alone. Symptoms, examination findings, imaging and the effect of arthritis on the patient's life all need to be considered.
For selected patients with advanced knee arthritis who require knee replacement, Robotic Knee Replacement Surgery in Navi Mumbai is a technology-assisted treatment option available at Joint Robo. Robotic technology can assist with detailed surgical planning and precision during important stages of knee replacement, while the orthopaedic surgeon remains responsible for clinical decisions and the procedure. Robotic knee replacement is not required for every arthritis patient, and suitability depends on factors such as the extent of joint damage, knee anatomy, overall health and individual treatment needs.
Total knee replacement may be considered when arthritis has caused significant damage across the knee and symptoms are substantially affecting mobility and quality of life.
During total knee replacement, damaged joint surfaces are replaced with artificial components.
The aim is to reduce pain and improve function, allowing suitable patients to return to daily activities with improved mobility.
Partial knee replacement may be an option for selected patients when arthritis is limited primarily to one compartment of the knee and the remaining structures are suitable for the procedure.
Not every patient with knee arthritis is a candidate for partial replacement. A detailed assessment is required to determine whether it is appropriate.
Arthritis can also affect joints such as the hip and shoulder.
Hip arthritis may cause:
Advanced hip arthritis may eventually require hip replacement in selected patients.
Shoulder arthritis may cause:
Treatment depends on the type and severity of arthritis and may include conservative care, physiotherapy or, for selected advanced cases, shoulder replacement.
Some forms of arthritis can be managed effectively, but there is no single cure for every type of arthritis.
Treatment focuses on controlling symptoms, maintaining joint function, managing the underlying condition where possible and preventing or addressing functional deterioration.
For advanced arthritis with significant structural joint damage, surgical treatment may be considered when appropriate.
Lifestyle measures may support overall joint health and symptom management.
Depending on your condition, your doctor may recommend:
Home management should complement—not replace—appropriate medical evaluation when symptoms persist.
