Rheumatoid Arthritis Management

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) management focuses on reducing inflammation, relieving pain, and preventing joint damage. Treatment typically involves medications like nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) to control symptoms and slow disease progression. Physical therapy and regular exercise can help maintain joint function and mobility. Lifestyle changes, such as a balanced diet and stress management, are also beneficial. Regular check-ups with a healthcare provider ensure that the treatment plan is effective and adjusted as needed. Early and consistent management is crucial for improving quality of life for those with RA.
