Stay fit! Obesity is one of the most significant factors contributing to the development and progression of arthritis. By losing even a small amount of weight, patients often find dramatic relief of their arthritis.
Avoid high-impact sports. They accelerate the progression of arthritis. The best low-impact exercises include cycling, swimming, pilates and yoga.
Strengthen muscles through physical therapy. By strengthening muscles, damaged joints are better supported. Physical therapists can be very helpful at teaching patients ways to do this.
Anti-inflammatory medications help ease the symptoms of mild to moderate arthritis. Always use anti-inflammatory medications under the direction of your physician.
