 
															Arthritis Management at The Piedmont Clinic
You don’t have to live with stiff mornings, swollen joints, and slowed-down days. 
We’ll help you move — and live — with less pain.
				Everyday Tasks Shouldn’t Hurt
If arthritis is creeping into your knees, fingers, hips, or shoulders, you already know the story:
- Opening jars feels impossible
- You dread stairs or long walks
- Mornings are stiff, nights are restless
- You’ve stopped doing things you used to love
But here’s the truth: Arthritis doesn’t have to win.
At The Piedmont Clinic, we build custom treatment plans that restore function, reduce inflammation, and get your life moving again.
								What Is Arthritis, Really?
Arthritis isn’t just one condition — it’s a category.
We treat common types like:
- Osteoarthritis – the “wear and tear” version that comes with aging or overuse
- Rheumatoid arthritis – an autoimmune form that causes swelling and pain
- Gout – painful, sudden joint inflammation often starting in the big toe
- Psoriatic arthritis – linked with skin conditions like psoriasis
No matter the type, arthritis breaks down joints and causes pain, swelling, and loss of mobility.
But that doesn’t mean you’re stuck.
								Our Approach to Arthritis Treatment
We tailor your plan to your body, lifestyle, and goals. That might include:
- Joint injections to reduce pain and inflammation
- Trigger point therapy to relieve muscle tension around affected joints
- Physical therapy referrals to rebuild strength and flexibility
- Targeted medications for inflammation and autoimmune regulation
- Lifestyle adjustments for movement, diet, and weight management
- Lab testing to understand what type of arthritis you’re dealing with
