Treatment Modalities

Anti-inflammatory medications can help decrease pain, swelling, and stiffness by reducing inflammation.

 

Braces allow for joint motion, but help to control motion or limit motion so as to allow for healing and/or participation in activities.

 

Physical Therapy basically consists of special stretching and strengthening exercises designed to decrease pain and stiffness and increase function of a particular area.
