Joint Treatment
Many different conditions can lead to painful joints, including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, bursitis, gout, strains, sprains, and other injuries. Joint pain is extremely common.
Luckily there are many simple, effective treatments that can help you get relief from joint pain. And if none of these work for you, there are other options to treat your joint pain and make sure it doesn’t slow you down.
The symptoms of joint pain can vary depending on the cause. The main symptom is often achy or stiff joints. You may also have swelling around the joint, limited range of motion, weakness in the area around the joint, and a grinding sensation when you move the joint.
Joint pain treatment depends on the underlying cause of your symptoms. Some treatments include pain relievers and anti-inflammatory medications like ibuprofen (Advil) or naproxen (Aleve). You may also need physical therapy to help build strength around your joints. Other treatments may include injections or even surgery.
