Gout Treatment in Sharjah

Effective Pain Management with Orthopedic & Physiotherapy Expertise at Al Resalah Specialty Clinic

Gout is a painful form of inflammatory arthritis caused by elevated levels of uric acid in the blood, leading to the formation of sharp crystals in joints. At Al Resalah Specialty Clinic in Sharjah, we offer a comprehensive approach to treating gout through specialist orthopedic consultation and advanced physiotherapy, ensuring long-term relief and prevention of recurrence.

🔍 What is Gout?

Gout is a type of arthritis characterized by sudden, severe attacks of pain, swelling, redness, and tenderness in the joints—most commonly the big toe. However, it can affect ankles, knees, elbows, wrists, and fingers.

⚠️ Common Symptoms of Gout:

  • Sudden intense joint pain, often at night

  • Swelling and inflammation in the affected joint

  • Redness and warmth around the joint

  • Limited range of motion

  • Lingering discomfort even after the severe pain subsides

🎯 Causes & Risk Factors:

Gout occurs when uric acid builds up in the blood and forms crystals in the joints. This may be due to:

  • Overproduction of uric acid

  • Reduced ability of kidneys to excrete uric acid

  • High-purine diet (e.g., red meat, seafood, alcohol)

  • Obesity and metabolic syndrome

  • Hypertension, diabetes, kidney disease

  • Genetic predisposition
