Gout
A form of arthritis caused by too much uric acid build-up in your body.
Overview
Gout occurs when uric acid crystallizes inside a joint, triggering sudden, severe inflammation. Attacks classically strike the big toe but can affect the ankle, knee, wrist or elbow. Left untreated, repeated flares damage cartilage and bone permanently.
How we treat it
We treat the acute flare, then address the underlying uric acid level with medication and dietary strategy so attacks stop recurring rather than merely being managed.
