Non-Surgical Treatment Options
The most important way to improve your condition is rest and rehabilitation.
At home, general care involves “RICE”:

- Ice
- Compression
- Elevation
Bracing and Orthotics
Braces or shoe inserts may be recommended to take pressure off of certain joints
Medications
- Aspirin
- Ibuprofen
- Naproxen
- Over-the-counter patches, rubs and ointments can provide quick pain relief
- Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs) are helpful to relieve pain and inflammation
