Treatment for Rheumatoid Arthritis

At present, there is no cure for RA. However, there are a number of treatment options that can aid in relieving joint pain and improve mobility.

Medications can be used to control RA. Aspirin and ibuprofen can help reduce pain and inflammation.

Exercise is also an important part of the conservative treatment program. An exercise program that helps to strengthen the joints can be developed by your physician and a physical therapist.

Joint replacement surgery is the final alternative in restoring function of the joint.
