Treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis and Osteoarthritis

  • Dr David Gotlieb Constantia Arthritus Clinic

Abstract

The assessment of any arthritis disease requires clarification of the specific disease as well as evaluation of the stage and activity of the disease and of function of the joint involved. In doing so, one can assess prognosis and adjust the patient's therapy accordingly. This can be classified as symptomatic therapy, specific disease modifying therapy and rehabilitation with restoration of function.
