Rheumatoid Arthritis Treatment: Management & Options
While there is no cure for rheumatoid arthritis (RA), effective treatments can slow joint damage, reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and improve function. A comprehensive plan often includes:
- Medications (DMARDs, biologics, NSAIDs, corticosteroids)
- Physical and occupational therapy
- Lifestyle modifications (exercise, diet, stress management)
- Complementary therapies (acupuncture, massage, supplements)
Early diagnosis and prompt treatment are key to achieving remission or low disease activity and maintaining quality of life.
