Gout is a type of arthritis caused by a build-up of uric acid crystals in the joints. It often develops suddenly and can cause severe pain, swelling, redness, and warmth, commonly affecting the big toe, ankle, or knee.
Gout attacks may last for several days and can return if not properly managed. Triggers may include alcohol, dehydration, certain foods, obesity, or some medical conditions.
At our clinic, we offer assessment, advice, and treatment to help relieve symptoms and reduce future attacks. Treatment may include anti-inflammatory medicines, lifestyle advice, and support to help manage uric acid levels effectively.
