Arthritis Treatments

Arthritis treatment primarily aims to alleviate pain, reduce joint inflammation, and improve mobility, ensuring a better quality of life for those affected. Depending on the type and severity of arthritis, treatment options can vary from over-the-counter pain relievers and anti-inflammatory drugs to physical therapy, dietary changes, and even surgical interventions in advanced cases. Recent advancements also explore the potential of biologics and disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) for certain forms of arthritis. Complementary therapies, like acupuncture and massage, can also offer additional relief for some patients. Regular consultation with a rheumatologist or physician is essential to tailor an effective treatment plan.

Promoting Interventions That Reduce Arthritis Pain

American Arthritis Foundation recognizes several proven approaches to reduce arthritis symptoms:

  • Be active. Physical activity—such as walking, bicycling, and swimming—decreases arthritis pain and improves function, mood, and quality of life. Adults with arthritis should move more and sit less throughout the day. Getting at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity each week is recommended.

  • Protect your joints. People can help prevent osteoarthritis by avoiding activities that are more likely to cause joint injuries.

  • Talk with a doctor. Recommendations from health care providers can motivate people to be physically active and join a self-management education program. Should your arthritis be interfering with your activities of daily living you may be a candidate to receive many new treatments, and learn how to reverse the arthritis condition.
