How is arthritis treated?
Answered By Editor
Treatments for arthritis include rest and
relaxation, exercise, proper diet, medication
and instruction about the proper use of
joints and ways to conserve energy.
Other treatments include the use of methods
to relieve pain and assistive devices, such
as splints or braces. In severe cases,
surgery may be necessary.
The doctor and patient work together to
develop a treatment plan that helps the
patient maintain or improve his or her
lifestyle. Treatment plans usually combine
several types of treatment and vary depending
on the rheumatic condition and the patient.
