Osteoarthritis Management

Management of osteoarthritis should be supported a mixture of non-drug and drug treatments targeted towards prevention, modifying risk and disease progression.Obesity is that the most vital modifiable risk factor, so losing weight additionally to land- and water-based exercise and strength training is vital .While paracetamol are often tried, guidelines recommend non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs as first-line treatment for osteoarthritis. If there are concerns about the adverse effects of oral treatment, particularly in older patients or those with comorbidities, topical non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are often used. Glucosamine doesn't appear to be any better than placebo for pain. Its effect on the structural progression of disease when taken alone or together with chondroitin is uncertain. animal oil has not been found to scale back the structural progression of knee arthritis.
