Arthritis management focuses on reducing pain, preserving joint function, and improving quality of life. Treatment depends on the type of arthritis—whether it’s osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or another form. It typically includes a combination of medications, physical therapy, lifestyle changes, and sometimes surgical intervention. Anti-inflammatory drugs, disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), and biologics are commonly prescribed to control symptoms and slow disease progression. Regular exercise, weight management, and a healthy diet help reduce joint strain. Patient education and consistent follow-up play vital roles in long-term management and preventing disability.

• Medication: NSAIDs, corticosteroids, DMARDs, and biologics help reduce inflammation and pain.
• Physical Therapy: Improves joint mobility, muscle strength, and reduces stiffness.
• Lifestyle Modifications: Balanced diet, low-impact exercise, and weight control.
• Assistive Devices: Canes, braces, or orthotics to reduce joint stress.
• Surgical Options: Joint replacement or arthroscopy for advanced cases.
• Regular Monitoring: Needed to assess disease progression and treatment response.
