摘要

Complementary therapies may be helpful adjunctive therapies in the management and treatment of osteoarthritis (OA) by reducing pain, doctor's visits, and the need for medication, and improving function and quality of life. Conventional medical and surgical therapies for OA often fall short of addressing an individual's symptoms fully. Complementary therapies can be safe and effective ways to provide further relief to the person who has this degenerative joint disease. OA is the most common type of arthritis today in the United States, affecting approximately 27 million people. It is a leading cause of disability worldwide, and the number of people disabled by OA is increasing in part because of our aging society. Joint degeneration, the hallmark of OA, causes people to experience mild-to-severe symptoms, including chronic pain, restricted mobility and flexibility, and limitations in activities of daily living.
