Arthritis :: Arthralgia Management & Homeopathy

Homeopathy and other alternative therapies are more appropriate therapeutic systems in relieving arthralgic conditions.

MANAGEMENT

Treatment aims
* To relieve pain
* To cure or palliate according to prognosis of the disease
* To maintain mobility and minimize disability.
* To conserve and restore function in affected joints.

Needless to say, a cure can be effected only by following an individualistic approach towards finding a constitutional similimum, but providing pain relief is of utmost importance. It gives confidence to the patient and he will be more forthcoming with symptoms of Homoeopathic importance when he can think of something other than pain.
