1. Arthritis Pain Treatment
People of different ages, genders, and backgrounds can suffer from arthritis. It can cause daily
pain, but that pain can be managed with proper care. Here are some suggestions we
recommend for anyone living with arthritis.
1) You can take advantage of a physical therapy program. The objective of therapy is to reduce
pain, improve functioning, and prevent further damage.
2) Changes in lifestyle are the preferred treatment for osteoarthritis, along with other types of
joint swelling.
3) Exercise can help reduce pain and fatigue, relieve stiffness, and enhance muscle and bone
strength. Your healthcare team may help you design a workout program that's best for you.
4) Orthotics or splints help enhance posture and support joints; this is required for arthritis.
5) Getting a good night’s sleep is a key to good health. Make sure to get enough sleep and even
take naps as needed. Sleep helps you recover from the pain and gives you the rest that your
body needs.
6) Avoid positions or movements that place more stress on your joints. Example: Always sit
straight up while you are working. Be kind to your spine.
7) Install grab bars in the shower and near the bathroom.
8) Try stress-reducing activities, like meditation or yoga.
9) Pain can be considerably improved by weight reduction in feet and the legs. Medicine can be
prescribed along with changes in lifestyle.
10) Try not to depend on pain medications. They can have adverse effects like myocardial
infarction, stroke, stomach ulcers, bleeding from the digestion tract, and kidney damage if they
are taken for a long time and/or unsupervised.
11) Visit IPMC to start your treatment plan. We are Interventional Radiologists, board-and

your treatment is accurate and safe.
