What to do if you have arthritis

1. Auxiliary treatment

Adjuvant therapy is a method used in conjunction with drug therapy when the patient's joint disease is in the early or middle stages. Auxiliary treatment is what we usually call physical therapy and body therapy, such as electrotherapy, massage, acupuncture and other arthritis treatments.

2. Drug treatment

Generally speaking, when treating diseases, before adopting surgical operations, drug therapy is a more effective method of treating arthritis that doctors and patients often choose.

3. Physical therapy

Osteoarthritis is a non-bacterial inflammation. The main pathological feature of the disease is the blood circulation disorder in the joint tissue, which leads to poor nutrition supply to the tissue cells and causes the tissue cells to become diseased. Microwave thermotherapy is a very successful physical therapy method developed at home and abroad in recent years. It has a very good effect on the recovery of cell function and the clearance of inflammatory substances. The treatment of this type of arthritis is also relatively effective.

4. Minimally invasive treatment

Minimally invasive technology, ozone nucleus pulposus ablation, injects ozone gas into the nucleus pulposus of the intervertebral disc through fine needle puncture, which can gradually dehydrate and atrophy the nucleus pulposus tissue cells, reduce the pressure on the nerve roots and achieve the purpose of treatment.

5. Massage therapy

Arthritis is treated through manual manipulation and massage. Commonly used techniques include: finger kneading, spinal pinching, holding, twisting, smearing, shaking, rubbing and joint movement.

6. Surgical treatment

Artificial knee replacement surgery is a procedure that replaces the completely degenerated, worn and deformed knee joint with other materials. The surface of the worn and damaged joint is cut away by about 10 mm to restore the normal joint force line. The artificial joint is then fixed to the cut bone surface by bone cement inlay. This approach may be considered for patients with severe deformities.
