Understanding Arthritis and Its Impact
Arthritis is not just one condition, it’s a group of over 100 joint disorders. The two most common forms we treat are:
- Osteoarthritis (OA): Degeneration of cartilage over time, often affecting knees, hips, shoulders, and spine.
- Rheumatoid arthritis (RA): An autoimmune disease that causes joint inflammation and damage.
Common symptoms include:
- Joint stiffness (especially in the morning)
- Swelling or tenderness
- Reduced range of motion
- Pain with activity or at rest
Without intervention, arthritis can progress and lead to disability but early treatment can slow or even reverse this course.

FAQs – Arthritis Treatment in Hialeah
What’s the difference between OA and RA?
OA is caused by wear and tear on the joints, while RA is an autoimmune condition. Both cause inflammation, but the treatment approach differs.
Is surgery the only option for severe arthritis?
Not necessarily. Many patients with moderate to severe arthritis improve with advanced injections or regenerative treatments often delaying or avoiding surgery altogether.
How long do arthritis injections last?
Cortico steroids may last several weeks to months. Visco supplementation may provide relief for up to 6 months. RFA and regenerative options may offer longer-term benefits depending on the patient.
Is PRP or stem cell therapy better for arthritis?
It depends on the joint and stage of arthritis. PRP is typically used earlier; stem cells may be more appropriate in moderate to advanced cases. We’ll guide you through your options.
Are these treatments covered by insurance?
Some are , like steroid injections and viscosupplementation. Regenerative therapies may not be covered, but we offer clear pricing and guidance.
