The Limited Role of Steroids in Orthopedic Joint Arthritis Treatment

Описание: In this video, I discuss the role of steroids in orthopedics, particularly in the treatment of joint arthritis. I explain that while steroids can provide temporary relief by reducing inflammation, they can also have negative long-term effects by causing cartilage erosion and softening of the underlying bone. I advise against using steroids as a quick fix, and instead recommend alternative treatments like physical therapy, supplements, and lifestyle modifications to manage joint arthritis. I only recommend steroid injections in limited cases where surgery is not an option or needs to be delayed.
