Osteoarthritis in the back and leg?

It is important to discuss with a doctor or healthcare professional about the treatments you are currently taking for your condition, as well as any that have been tried in the past. It is also important to consider the potential interactions with other medications you may be taking, and ensure your blood pressure and blood sugar levels are well controlled. Physical rehabilitation with a physiotherapist or kinesiologist can help improve your level of function and manage pain. While complete pain relief may not be possible, maintaining a realistic quality of life is key. Consulting with your doctor about other possible pharmacological options based on evaluation and discussions is also recommended. Many insurance plans cover physiotherapy and kinesthesiology consultations.
