What are the treatments for rheumatoid arthritis?

Rheumatoid arthritis is not uncommon. Once it occurs, it will cause pain, stiffness, swelling, fever, subcutaneous nodules and even deformities in the patient's joints. Rheumatoid arthritis is a long-term disease. Treatments include medication and laser acupuncture. Since it is a chronic disease, you should also strengthen your body and improve your immunity in your daily life. Here are some treatments for rheumatoid arthritis.

1. Drug treatment

The treatment plan should be individualized, and drug treatment mainly includes non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, slow-acting anti-rheumatic drugs, immunosuppressants, immune and biological preparations, and herbal medicines. It is effective in treating rheumatoid arthritis and AS and is well tolerated. Currently, there are two commercial dosage forms of Enbrel and Yisaipu in China.

2. Strengthen exercise

Then it is to enhance physical fitness: if you regularly participate in physical exercise and productive labor, it will be very beneficial to regularly do some health gymnastics, practice qigong, Tai Chi, do radio gymnastics, take walks, etc. People who insist on physical exercise will have a strong body, strong disease resistance, and rarely get sick. Their ability to resist the invasion of wind, cold and dampness is much stronger than that of those who do not exercise. This is exactly the principle behind what the "Inner Canon of the Yellow Emperor" says: "When righteous energy exists within, evil cannot invade" and "Where evil gathers, the energy will be weak."

3. Laser Acupuncture
