PART 2: What Can Help Arthritis? (Osteoarthritis vs Rheumatoid Arthritis)
If you’ve watched Part 1, you’ll know not all arthritis is the same — and the treatments aren’t either. Here’s a simple breakdown to help you understand what can actually help 👇
🦴 For Osteoarthritis (wear-and-tear arthritis):
These options can help reduce pain + support joint health:
• Pain relief medications (short-term support)
• Supplements: glucosamine, collagen & omega-3
• PRP injections — stimulates healing + reduces inflammation
• Prolozone therapy (available in clinic)
• Staying active — gentle movement keeps joints healthy
• Joint replacement (in more severe cases)
Heat vs Ice?
🔥 Heat = relax muscles + ease stiffness
❄️ Ice = reduce swelling + numb sharp pain
(Use what feels best for your symptoms.)
🔥 For Rheumatoid Arthritis (autoimmune arthritis):
This is very different.
It often requires:
• A rheumatologist
• Prescription medications to reduce immune activity
• Ongoing medical monitoring
However, lifestyle and joint-friendly strategies can still support daily comfort.
