Most degenerative joint disease does not cause symptoms and can be slowed down by healthy lifestyle management, appropriate exercise and reducing the burden on the joints.
For patients with symptoms, most conservative treatments such as medication and physiotherapy are used; surgery can be considered if the patient’s condition is severe and conservative treatment does not work.
When patients have acute symptoms, they should pay attention to rest and reduce the burden on the joints; anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs can be used to reduce or control the symptoms, but should not be taken for a long time.
