Treatment of osteoarthritis

summary

My father works in the construction industry. From the second half of last year, he sometimes felt that his legs were sore and he couldn't make any effort. He didn't care at first. After all, he thought that he was too tired because of the high intensity of work. But later, the symptoms became more and more obvious, especially when it was rainy, he felt a special pain in his knee. Later, he went to have an examination. The doctor said that it was osteoarthritis, and he was not treated After a period of nursing, it slowly recovered. Now I'd like to share the treatment of osteoarthritis.

Treatment of osteoarthritis

First: physical therapy: heat therapy, Chinese herbal fumigation, wax therapy, ultrasound, iontophoresis and other treatments can be used to relieve pain and associated muscle spasm, and help maintain and restore joint function. But some treatments are very easy to have side effects on the human body.

Second, climate change, such as joint cold, can aggravate the symptoms. Therefore, in autumn and winter, the elderly should pay special attention to keeping their joints warm and cold, and carry out reasonable physical exercises, such as Taijiquan, jogging, various gymnastics, etc.

Third: block therapy: commonly known as "block injection", is directly injected into the spinal canal or nerve root, local anesthesia to achieve analgesic effect. The symptoms recovered immediately after the blocking effect.
