Treatment for arthritis typically involves a combination of self-management techniques and medical interventions. Some common self-management techniques include exercise, weight management, and stress reduction. Medical interventions may include the use of medications such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), as well as physical therapy and occupational therapy. In some cases, surgery may also be recommended. It is important to work closely with a healthcare provider to develop an individualized treatment plan that is tailored to your specific needs and goals.
