How is osteoarthritis treated? explained by Dr. Sandeep Chauhan

Your doctor will develop an individualized treatment program especially for you based on several factors, including:

• How severe your disease is
• Which joints are affected The nature of your symptoms
• Any other conditions you have and medications you take
• Your age, occupation, and everyday work activities

Staying active is essential
For people with osteoarthritis, it is important to maintaining an active lifestyle and avoid becoming sedentary. Movement can help lessen pain and prevent it from getting worse. But the correct and safe types of activity vary from patient to patient. As with any treatment, getting a proper “movement prescription” requires having a pinpoint diagnosis and an understanding of each patient's unique condition.
