-==Treatment==
-Treatment options vary depending on the type of arthritis and include [[Physical therapy|physical]] and [[occupational therapy]], lifestyle changes (including exercise and weight control), and medications (symptomatic or targeted at the disease process causing the arthritis).
-In general, studies have shown that physical exercising of the affected joint can have noticeable improvement in terms of long-term pain relief.  Furthermore, exercising of the arthritic joint is encouraged to maintain the health of the particular joint and the overall body of the person.<ref>[http://www.elderstribune.com/health-lifestyle/6-reasons-exercise-if-you-have-arthritis 6 reasons to exercise if you have arthritis]</ref>
-Another form of non-drug treatment that does have a body of proper research to support its efficacy is marine oil, from both fish and the New Zealand green-lipped mussel (Perna canaliculus). Diets high in marine oils from cold-water fish such as salmon, mackerel, and tuna have been shown to reduce the inflammation of joint conditions such as arthritis. Massage on joints with [[neem oil]] has reported improvement in chronic and acute cases.
