Arthritic pain can be effectively treated with physiotherapy. Joint inflammation from arthritis results in pain, stiffness, and restricted mobility. By improving joint flexibility, strengthening the muscles surrounding the troubled joints, and reducing inflammation, physiotherapy can assist in managing these symptoms. Pain management methods include manual treatment, acupuncture, electrotherapy, and exercise therapy.
