Can a longevity treatment actually cure arthritis, or is it only meant to manage the symptoms?
The question, asked by a man aged 30 to 44
I’ve had arthritis for a while and keep coming across longevity programmes that claim to improve overall health and slow down ageing. I’m wondering if these treatments can actually help repair or reverse arthritis, or if that’s unrealistic.
It Depends on the type of arthritis.
If it’s osteoarthritis, the cartilage is already worn down, and it does not fully grow back. However, the pain, stiffness, and movement can be worked on, and the further damage can be slowed.
Rheumatoid arthritis, this can go into remission with the right treatment and some lifestyle changes.
Gout can be controlled very well by managing uric acid.
Here’s what can make arthritis worse.
Excess weight, as it adds weight to already weak joints.
Inflammation from diet or gut health, and even insulin resistance.
Weak muscles around the joints and Low levels of Vitamin D.
So a 100% cure is not realistic. But living with less pain and moving more is possible.
Suggested Tests
- A review of the original diagnosis, to confirm the arthritis type
- X-rays of the affected joints
- Joint ultrasound
- Rheumatoid factor, anti-CCP, ESR and CRP
- HLA-B27
- Serum uric acid
- HbA1c and fasting insulin
- Vitamin D
- A physiotherapy assessment of muscle strength and joint stability around the affected joints
