arthritis management

Treating inflamed joints

Arthritis management refers to the strategies and treatments used to control the symptoms and progression of arthritis, a condition causing joint inflammation, pain, and stiffness.

Management typically combines medication, physical therapy, lifestyle modifications, and sometimes surgery.

The goal is reducing pain and maintaining joint function rather than achieving a cure, since most forms of arthritis are chronic.

Her arthritis management includes daily stretching and anti-inflammatory drugs.
