At Durant Medical Clinic, we are dedicated to the diagnosis, treatment, and management of bone and joint problems, which can significantly impact mobility and quality of life. Common conditions we treat include osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis, fractures, tendonitis, and bursitis. These conditions can cause pain, stiffness, swelling, and reduced function, affecting daily activities and overall well-being.
Our approach to treating bone and joint problems begins with a thorough evaluation, including a detailed patient history, physical examination, and appropriate diagnostic tests such as X-rays, MRI scans, bone density tests, and blood tests. This comprehensive assessment allows us to accurately diagnose the specific condition and determine its severity.
At Durant Medical Clinic, we develop personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient's needs. For conditions like osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, treatment may include medications such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), corticosteroids, and disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) to reduce pain and inflammation. In cases of osteoporosis, bone-strengthening medications like bisphosphonates may be prescribed to prevent fractures.
In some cases, surgical intervention may be necessary to address severe bone and joint problems. Our team collaborates with orthopedic surgeons to provide surgical options such as joint replacement, arthroscopy, and fracture repair when conservative treatments are not sufficient.
