Your doctor is the best medical resource for treatment options including NSAIDS, steroids and biologics which can be administered through an IV at a clinic or self injected. Complimentary therapies such as exercise, heat and cold and reducing strain can also be an effective part of disease management.

they do make,” says Algis Jovaisas, MD, a leading authority on RA and AS.
