骨关节炎（Osteoarthritis）通常因附着于长骨关节面的关节软骨磨损所致，轻者可致疼痛、关节积水，重者可致关节畸形，甚至功能障碍。关于骨关节炎的治疗，美国骨科医师协会认为“不一定都需要手术，即完全可以采取非手术疗法以缓解其症状，特别是疼痛。”常用的非手术措施包括：

1、遵循健康的生活方式，以避免超重或肥胖，或减肥；

2、可服用阿司比林等非甾体抗炎止痛药，或皮质醇类激素；

3、避免进行诸如跑、跳或反复登楼梯、登山或下蹲等运动，有氧健身运动以散步或快走、游泳等为好！

4、接受理疗或体疗。

Osteoarthritis, often referred to as "wear-and-tear arthritis," is characterized by the wearing away of the cartilage that covers the ends of bones that form the joints.

The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons says the pain condition can be treated without surgery. It mentions these potential treatment options:

1、Making lifestyle changes, including losing weight.

2、Taking medication, including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or corticosteroids.

3、Limiting exercise to low-impact activities, such as biking or swimming.

4、Getting physical therapy.
