Hi
Welcome.
Presently it is not curable. Presently there is only symptomatic treatment is available.

Some persons may have no or few symptoms only but others may have persistent pain and limited movement.
Treatment is mainly focussed on relieving any symptoms that are present but permanent curable treatment is not available.
There is relationship between DISH and obesity, type 2 diabetes, treating those conditions may slow or halt the progression of DISH.

Symptomatic treatment like pain killer for pain, exercise for improving the range of motion at the joint.
