Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease that requires a comprehensive approach. In addition to pain relief through medications, including NSAIDs, weight management and exercise therapy play a crucial role. Exercises to strengthen the muscles around the affected joint can help reduce strain. Physical therapy can provide customized exercises and techniques to improve your mobility and minimize pain. If osteoarthritis progresses, surgical intervention in the form of joint replacement or cartilage transplantation may be considered. It is advisable to work closely with an orthopedist to discuss the best treatment options and conduct regular examinations.
