French to English: Le traitement de l'arthrite/Arthritis Treatment General field: Medical
Source text - French Le traitement de l'arthrite
es diverses formes d'arthrite sont si différentes que votre médecin devra élaborer un traitement personnalisé complet destiné spécifiquement à soulager vos symptômes. Il ne pourra y parvenir qu'après un examen physique complet, une série de tests et, habituellement des radiographies. Les traitements les plus courants comprennent des médicaments, du repos, de la physiothérapie, en particulier des exercices correcteurs et l'application de chaleur, et, dans les cas graves, le recours aux attelles, aux dispositifs d'aide à la marche, aux appareils orthopédiques ou même à la chirurgie.
Repos, exercice, physiothérapie
Il est essentiel d'adopter la combinaison appropriée de repos et d'exercice. Le repos est particulièrement important durant les périodes où les articulations sont douloureuses et enflammées.Toutefois, si les articulations arthritiques ne sont pas utilisées, elles s'enraidissent ou leur fonctionnement devient limité de façon permanente. L'exercice thérapeutique non seulement aidera à conserver la souplesse des articulations, mais renforcera les muscles articulaires. Dans ces cas, l'exercice ne comprend pas la gamme callisthénique complète ni la participation active à un sport de force. La plupart des arthritiques doivent effectuer chaque jour une série d'exercices "tranquilles" obligeant leurs articulations à effectuer toute une gamme de mouvements. Les exercices ne doivent ni être douloureux, ni exercer de pression excessive sur les muscles ou les articulations. En fait, si une partie quelconque de votre corps est encore fatiguée une heure après la série d'exercices prescrits, il est probable que vous avez exagéré.
Vous ne devez pas tenter d'établir votre propre système d'exercices.
Laissez à votre médecin ou à votre physiothérapeute le soin d'établir un programme spécialement pour vous. Le physiothérapeute peut également vous prescrire un traitement comportant l'application de chaleur ou des massages. Dans le cas de la polyarthrite rhumatoïde en particulier, les bains chauds, l'hydrothérapie et les autres applications de chaleur sont souvent bénéfiques.
(Certaines personnes vont vivre dans des endroits au climat plus doux parce qu'elles s'y sentent mieux. Ne prenez pas une telle décision sans avoir consulté des spécialistes. Rien ne permet en effet de penser qu'un climat chaud ou sec a un effet quelconque sur la maladie elle-même.)
Translation - English Arthritis Treatment
The various forms of arthritis are so different that your physician will need to develop a comprehensive, personalized treatment, specifically designed to treat your symptoms. This cannot be done until after a complete physical examination, a series of tests and usually x-rays. The most common treatments include medication, rest, physiotherapy (particularly corrective exercises and the application of heat) and in severe cases, using splints, walking aides, or orthopaedic devices and even surgery.
Rest, Exercise, Physiotherapy
The appropriate combination of rest and exercise is essential. Rest is especially important during periods when joints are painful and inflamed. However, if the arthritic joints are not used, they stiffen, or their function becomes permanently limited. Therapeutic exercise will not only help to maintain joint flexibility but will also strengthen the joint muscles.
This exercise doesn’t need to run the complete gamut of aerobics or involve active participation in a power sport. Most people with arthritis need to do a series of gentle exercises each day, that require their joints to perform a wide range of movements. The exercises don’t need to be painful or exert an excessive amount of pressure on the muscles or joints. In fact, if any part of your body is still tired one hour after your prescribed series of exercises, it is likely that you have overdone them.
You should not attempt to create your own exercise system. Let your physician or your physiotherapist establish a program made especially for you. A physiotherapist may also prescribe a treatment involving the application of heat or massage. For rheumatoid arthritis in particular, hot baths, hydrotherapy and other heat applications are often beneficial.
(Some people move to places with warmer climates because they feel better there. Do not make such a decision without consulting specialists. There is no evidence that a hot or dry climate has any effect on the condition).
