Common Treatments for Arthritis
Common treatments for arthritis include medications that range from cortisone to menthol and other drugs that block the pain signals to the joint and reduce inflammation and pain associated with arthritis. Additionally, in more severe cases, doctors may recommend surgery as a more permanent method. Surgeries include joint fusions, where the bones heal together, and joint replacements, most common in the knees and hips.
Yoga can be used as a supplementary method for physical therapy. Yoga works wonders for arthritis patients because it connects the mind and body, naturally relieves pain, improves mood and boosts flexibility.
