Treatment for osteoarthritis (OA)
Osteoarthritis cannot be reversed, but treatment can make its symptoms better. Mild cases can be managed with lifestyle changes like losing weight, using walking aids, and warm compresses. Painkillers and medicine to reduce inflammation can help with joint pain - these can sometimes be injected directly into the joint. In severe cases, surgery to smoothen the bone surface or replace it with an implant can be done.
