One of the most commonly used medical treatments for arthritis joint pain is the cortisone injection. Whether or not a cortisone injection is right for you depends on many factors. For example, is inflammation causing your joint pain? Which joint is affected? Are you in need of short-term relief?
Peer recognition. Physicians from across DC, Maryland and Virginia nominated those colleagues whom they respected most. Dr. Melvin was among them.
When you do core-building exercises, you strengthen the muscles in your abdomen and back. Strong core muscles take pressure off your spine and hip joints, which can help reduce arthritis pain and prevent additional joint damage.
When something goes wrong in the hip joint, there are a lot of possible culprits: bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and more. Just as with low back pain, the source of hip pain can be difficult to pinpoint.
If you have arthritis and do not exercise regularly, try walking. Walking is the best way to begin the transition from inactivity to activity—even if you have arthritis in a weight-bearing joint like your knee or hip.
