Overview

Secondary Prevention

There is a complex relationship between pain and physical activity. Pain can lead to a sedentary lifestyle leading to a weight gaining system. As mentioned before, high BMI is one of the important risk factors for osteoarthritis. Activity can be helpful in weight adjustment and could also help in reducing pain. Thus, physical activities and pain control have important roles in secondary prevention[1].
