What Treatments are Available for Synovial Fluid Disorders?

- Medications: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), antibiotics (for infections), and disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) for conditions like JIA. - Physical Therapy: Helps maintain joint function and improve mobility. - Surgical Interventions: In severe cases, procedures like joint aspiration or even surgery may be necessary to remove infected or inflamed tissue. - Lifestyle Modifications: Ensuring a healthy weight and regular exercise can help manage symptoms and improve joint health.
