Inflammatory Arthropathies
Inflammatory arthropathies are a group of chronic diseases that cause inflammation of the joints, tendons and other connective tissues. Symptoms typically include swelling, pain and impaired movement of the affected joint. They are often progressive, leading to stiffness, deformity, and disability. Examples of inflammatory arthropathies include rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. Treatment typically includes medications, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and lifestyle changes to manage pain and maintain joint flexibility. Inflammatory arthropathies can have a negative impact on physical abilities and quality of life, so early diagnosis and timely treatment are important for improving outcomes.
