How much will arthritis treatment help me?
Osteoarthritis treatment programs are designed with your needs in mind. A good program will help to:
- decrease your joint pain
- improve your range of motion
- ease joint stiffness
- increase your ability to participate in everyday activities
How well your treatment works depends on your commitment and communication with your healthcare providers. If you don't take the actions you need to and speak up about your symptoms or problems, your healthcare team can't be certain that your program is meeting your needs. Nor will they know when to adjust treatment.
