A broad range of treatments are recommended by international clinical guidelines for osteoarthritis (OA) management that can be utilized to address different modifiable risk factors. Education and self- management, therapeutic exercise and physical activity, and maintaining a healthy weight are core treatments for OA. Additional adjunctive treatments can be prescribed depending on the needs of the individual, including the ones shown. Core and adjunctive treatments for OA should be tailored to the individual for optimal personalized care.
