How do you treat creatine kinase?
Creatine kinase (CK) levels are not treated directly since they reflect an underlying condition or muscle damage. The treatment primarily focuses on identifying and managing the underlying cause of CK elevation. This may involve various interventions such as medications, physical therapy, lifestyle modifications, and addressing any associated complications. For example, if CK elevation is due to a heart attack, treatments may include medications to improve heart function, lifestyle changes, and cardiac rehabilitation. In cases of muscle injury or inflammation, rest, physical therapy, and pain management strategies may be employed. The specific treatment approach will depend on the underlying condition and should be determined by a healthcare professional.
