Chronic pain:
Treatment of chronic joint and bone pain aims to reduce pain, improve quality of life, and maintain motor function. These types of pain are usually caused by diseases such as osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, arthritis, or long-term injuries. Treatment includes a combination of anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving medications, physiotherapy, lifestyle modification, regular exercise, and weight control. In some cases, joint injections or complementary therapies such as acupuncture and massage are also recommended. If non-surgical treatments are ineffective, surgery may be the last option. Managing this pain requires continuous follow-up and a regular treatment plan.
- Avoid heavy activities
- Regular performance of stretching and strengthening exercises
- Taking prescribed medications even if the pain decreases
- Following a diet to strengthen the bones
- Adequate sleep and stress management
