Your doctor will thoroughly examine the joint for signs of inflammation, mobility issues, and range of motion. Your doctor will likely order imaging such as an MRI or X-ray to get a sense of the extent of your joint damage and order blood tests to rule out autoimmune forms of arthritis like psoriatic or rheumatoid arthritis. With this information in mind, your doctor will be able to determine a comprehensive treatment plan for you.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;About Area&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; min_height=&#8221;423px&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;13px|40px||40px|false|false&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;|0px||0px||true&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; text_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#002f47&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;17px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.5em&#8221; header_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; header_2_text_color=&#8221;#33658a&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;25px&#8221; header_2_letter_spacing=&#8221;1px&#8221; animation_style=&#8221;fold&#8221; animation_direction=&#8221;left&#8221; animation_intensity_fold=&#8221;5%&#8221; animation_starting_opacity=&#8221;100%&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Osteoarthritis Treatment in South Carolina<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"s1\"><b><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Treatment for osteoarthritis can range from conservative lifestyle changes to surgical interventions.
