Rheumatoid Arthritis Treatment

Arthritis Pain Relief

There are two main types of arthritis, known as Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid arthritis. Osteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis, affecting millions of people around the globe. This condition frequently affects people over the age of 50 and is more commonly found in women. Osteoarthritis damages the smooth cartilage lining within the joint, leading to thinning and erosion. In turn, this causes stiffness, swelling and bones in the joint to rub together. Osteoarthritis commonly affects the joints in the hands, hips, spine and knees.

Symptoms may vary due to the type of arthritis that you have, however common symptoms of Osteoarthritis include:

• Inflammation, pain and redness of the tissues around the joints
• Damage to cartilage which restricts the joints from moving freely
• Stiffness due to bony growths which develop around the joints

Although Osteoarthritis can be uncomfortable, we provide a wide range or arthritis pain relief medications that help control the pain and slow down the condition.

Arthritis Treatment and Prescriptions

There is no cure for arthritis, however there are many medications available that effectively control the condition. In addition, lifestyle changes can be maintained to help relieve the symptoms of arthritis. Osteoarthritis symptoms can be eased by exercising regularly, maintaining a healthy diet, wearing suitable footwear and physiotherapy.
