arthritis therapy

Inflammation pain relief

Arthritis therapy encompasses treatments aimed at managing arthritis—inflammation of the joints causing pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.

Therapies range from physical therapy and exercise programs to medications, injections, and surgery.

The goal is typically pain relief and improved function rather than cure: Her arthritis therapy includes both medication and regular swimming.
