How to treat arhritis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rheumatologist: There are many forms of arthritis and different pathways to treat each kind. Some respond to medication; others may require joint surgery; others physical therapy and proper rest/activity. As some treatment can ward off future more severe damage, it is best to have a proper diagnosis by a rheumatologist and enter the proper pathway of treatment.
