How to cure osteoarthritis

summary

Recently, I feel that my bone and joint pain, especially at night and in the morning, will be more serious. When I went to the hospital for examination, I found that I was suffering from osteoarthritis. Let's talk about how to cure osteoarthritis.

How to cure osteoarthritis

First, the main treatment of osteoarthritis is to reduce the weight-bearing of the joint and excessive large-scale activity, in order to delay the process of the disease. Obese patients should reduce weight and joint load.

Second: crutches or canes can be used when the lower limb joints are diseased, in order to reduce the burden of joints. Physical therapy and proper exercise can maintain the range of motion of the joint. Splint brace and walking stick can be used when necessary, which is helpful to control the symptoms of acute phase.

Third, anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs can reduce or control symptoms, but should be used carefully after evaluating the risk factors of patients, and should not be taken for a long time. Cartilage protectants such as glucosamine sulfate can relieve symptoms and improve function, and long-term use can delay the structural progress of the disease.

matters needing attention

Attention should be paid to the diet of patients with osteoarthritis: eat more histidine containing foods, such as rice, wheat and rye. Histidine is beneficial to the elimination of excess metal. Eat foods rich in carotene, flavonoids, vitamins C and E, and sulfur compounds.
