Non-pharmacological management and behavioural intervention
Education of patients with OA can reduce their pain and improve their quality of
life. The aim is to provide patients with an understanding of the disease
process, its prognosis and the rationale and implications of managing their
condition.
Thermomedic therapy knee supports and hip support underwear are widely
recommended to reduce osteoarthritis-related pain. In patients with significant
varus deformity, use of Thermomedic's compressive knee support made of bio-
ceramic thermal fibres significantly reduced pain over 6 months of frequent use.
Unlike rigid braces, Thermomedic compressive knee supports are comfortable
to wear and most affordable.
Management of osteoarthritis of the hip
The therapy of OA of the hip generally follows the same principles as treatment
of OA of the knee. Thermomedic hip support underpants provides gentle,
soothing care for hip joints affected by osteoarthritis pain and stiffness.
For optimal results, management of OA requires multiple therapies and an
individualised approach. Patients need to be involved in formulating and
executing the management plan. As the disease progresses, or as comorbid
conditions develop, management may need to be need to be revised. The
doctor’s role is to coordinate non-pharmacological approaches, supervise
pharmacological management with the aim of minimising toxicity, and empower
patients to manage their chronic condition.

Medical Care For Osteoarthritis of the hip Joints
Osteoarthritis is a common, chronic condition which requires a patient-centred,
individualised AO management plan. Goals of managing osteoarthritis include
controlling pain, maintaining and improving the range of movement and stability
of affected joints and limiting functional impairment. Exercise programs and the
long term use of compressive hip support underpants help reduce hip joint pain
and the disability associated with osteoarthritis.
