Osteoarthritis refers to aseptic inflammation of the bones and joints caused by degenerative disease of the joints. The typical clinical manifestation of osteoarthritis is pain in the joints. The three main clinical methods to help restore the health of patients are medication, physical therapy, and surgery. First, patients with osteoarthritis can take medications to help relieve the symptoms of joint pain. Oral anti-inflammatory and analgesic medications are used to relieve joint pain, and oral chondroprotective agents such as glucosamine sulfate are used to slow down cartilage damage and improve joint function (for specific medications, please refer to the clinic and be guided by your doctor in an interview). Steroid injections can help eliminate swelling and pain in the joint area. Secondly, physical therapy is also very effective in treating arthritis. Heat application can promote blood circulation in the joint area and help to relieve local joint swelling. Electrotherapy, magnetotherapy, infrared radiation, and ultraviolet radiation can help reduce the inflammatory response in the joints and relieve joint pain. Finally, for patients whose medication or physical therapy is not effective or whose joint lesions have affected normal life and work, surgical treatment can be used to correct joint deformities and help restore normal physiological function of the joints. In conclusion, depending on the specific condition of the arthritis patient, medication, physical therapy or surgery can be chosen to help relieve the symptoms, reduce the patient’s pain and improve the quality of life.
