At Agarwal Hospital in Bareilly, Dr. Ankur Agrawal offers expert arthritis treatments to restore joint health and mobility. Arthritis, characterized by inflammation, stiffness, and joint pain, can severely impact daily life. Dr. Agrawal’s approach begins with non‑surgical therapies such as NSAIDs and DMARDs, along with hot packs and ultrasound physiotherapy to reduce pain and improve function. For targeted relief, he uses injection therapies including PRP (Platelet‑Rich Plasma) to promote tissue repair and hyaluronic acid to enhance joint lubrication. When necessary, minimally invasive procedures like arthroscopy are performed to address internal joint issues.
