How is the symptom of osteoarthritis treated

summary

My grandfather suffered from knee injury when he was young. When he got older, he developed osteoarthritis. He often had pain and morning stiffness. It's very important to choose the treatment method. Let's see how to treat the symptoms of osteoarthritis.

How is the symptom of osteoarthritis treated

One: exercise therapy: increase joint activity and muscle strength and stability through appropriate exercise: quadriceps strength exercise, knee activity therapy, knee joint strengthening therapy, etc. It should be noted that many patients want to "break in" their joints by repeatedly squatting and other violent movements. However, the "break in" in this pathological state aggravates the wear of the joints, and even aggravates the patient's condition.

Second: surgical treatment: Generally speaking, when the condition of knee joint degenerative arthritis is serious, the traditional rehabilitation, physical and drug treatment control effect is not good, and there is continuous deterioration, surgical treatment is recommended. For patients with knee degenerative arthritis in different periods and with different needs, appropriate treatment should be selected.

Third: physical therapy: physical therapy is the use of cold compress, hyperthermia and exercise to reduce the pain of the affected area, while enhancing the strength of muscles around the joint and expanding the range of motion, to increase the range of motion of the joint and restore joint function. This is one of the treatments for degenerative osteoarthritis.

matters needing attention

Patients with osteoarthritis can do more appropriate muscle exercise, so that muscle movement coordination and muscle strength, which can reduce joint symptoms and improve joint stability, has an important role in the recovery of the disease.
