What treatment method does osteoarthritis have

The first method: the plaster of traditional Chinese medicine can penetrate into the skin to produce anti-inflammatory, analgesic, promoting blood circulation and removing stasis, dredging meridians and collaterals, opening orifices and penetrating bones, dispelling wind and dispersing cold, etc. The plaster on the body surface stimulates nerve endings, dilates blood vessels, promotes local blood circulation, improves nutrition of surrounding tissues, and achieves the purpose of detumescence, anti-inflammatory and analgesia.

The second method: Western medicine is mainly analgesic and anti-inflammatory, common indomethacin, voltalin, oral can more effectively relieve symptoms, but the gastrointestinal side effects of such drugs are large. In recent years, the anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects of the new drugs on the market are certain, and the gastrointestinal side effects are mild, but the price is high. If the joint is swollen and painful repeatedly, hormone drugs can be used selectively, but it is not suitable to be used repeatedly due to its side effects.
