Arthritis care may include activity changes, exercise, medication or procedures depending on the cause.

First identify the type

Not all arthritis is the same. Osteoarthritis, inflammatory conditions and infection are managed differently.

Movement still matters

Appropriate strength and flexibility exercises can support function. The right programme depends on the joint and the person.

Medication and procedures

Decisions about medicines, injections or surgery require an individual conversation about risks, benefits and alternatives.

Track the impact

Notice changes in walking, stairs, sleep and daily tasks—not only pain level.
