Is there a cure for osteoarthritis?
7 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Cure unlikely: The saying goes, cure seldom treat often, comfort always! osteoarthritis is a degenerative, wear and tear process which is almost inevitable as we grow older!

No: Unfortunately, the answer is no. Hip and knee joints can be replaced if the arthritis is advanced and painful in one of these joints.

No cure: However there are many options for treatment. Medications like anti-inflammatory options like ibuprofen, naproxen, etc. Other options include synvisc/euflexxa injections to help lubricate the joint or even platelet/stem cell therapies as well. Check out regenexx.com.
