What Are the Treatments of Arthritis?
Treatment of arthritis generally includes occupational or physical therapy, exercise, drugs, and sometimes surgery to correct joint damage. Treatments for osteoarthritis generally can help relieve pain and stiffness, but the disease may continue to progress. The same was true for rheumatoid arthritis in the past. But newer treatments for rheumatoid arthritis have been able to slow or stop progression of arthritis damage. The duration and intensity of pain and discomfort depend on the type of arthritis you have and the degree of severity.
