  • Regular low-impact exercise (e.g., swimming, walking, pilates, yoga) to maintain joint flexibility and strength.
  • Adopting a healthy, balanced diet rich in anti-inflammatory foods.
  • Maintaining a healthy weight to reduce strain on weight-bearing joints.

Surgical Treatment

Restore joint function, relieve severe pain, and correct deformities when other treatments fail.

  • Joint replacement surgery (arthroplasty) for severely damaged joints, commonly hips and knees.
  • Arthroscopy for minimally invasive joint repair, debris removal, or cartilage procedures.
  • Osteotomy to realign bones and shift weight from damaged joint areas.
  • Joint fusion (arthrodesis) for stabilizing severely painful joints, often in the spine, wrist, or ankle.
