Osteoarthritis
Frequently Asked Questions
9. Can exercise help treat
osteoarthritis?
Yes, exercise is one of the best treatments. Exercise can improve
mood and outlook, decrease pain, and assist in maintaining a
healthy weight. The amount and form of exercise will depend on
which joints are involved, how stable the joints are, whether or
not the joint is swollen, and whether a joint replacement has
already been done. Ask your doctor or physical therapist what
exercises are best for you.
