Gout Treatment
At the Center of Horizons, We take a holistic approach to gout treatment to ensure sustainable improvement:
- Accurate diagnosis: We start with a medical exam with a blood test to measure uric acid levels, and we may take a sample of joint fluid to confirm the presence of crystals.
- Drug therapy: half of NSAIDs (such as ibuprofen) or colchicine to relieve pain during seizures, and medications such as allopurinol to reduce uric acid.
- Lifestyle changes: We recommend avoiding purine-rich foods (such as red meat and seafood), reducing alcohol, and losing weight if necessary.
- Supportive care: We encourage drinking plenty of water to cleanse the body, and using cold compresses to reduce swelling during episodes.
- Follow-up: We regularly monitor uric acid levels to prevent seizures, and we offer prevention tips such as maintaining a healthy diet.
Our goal is to help you get rid of pain and prevent recurrence of seizures.
