IS THERE A CURE FOR INFLAMMATION AND ARTHRITIS? Depends on what kind of inflammation one has. 1) For all practical purposes age related wear & tear - OSTEOARTHRITIS (OA) can not be cured. It is a natural progression of things. Just like there is no cure for ageing there is no cure for OA. However one can keep healthy even in old age, similarly good health of joints can be ensured with proper care. Best way to take care of your hips & knees is to keep body weight in check and engaging in daily regular physical activity like walking. 2) If you have inflammatory arthritis like RA, Psoriatic Arthritis, Gout etc. these arthritis can be very well controlled by medicines and life style changes. Most important is early diagnosis & proper treatment. 3) Arthritis due to injury - can be prevented by avoiding serious injury. 4) Infection in joints can be prevented and also cured if treated early & properly. 5) AND if everything fails and one has disabling pain, modern day joint replacement surgeries are a safe, effective & reliable means to treat end-stage arthritis specially of hip, knee & shoulder. Ankle, elbow and small joint replacements are not very common as yet.
