From the rheumatology experts at Mayo Clinic comes a complete guide on
arthritis. This book is filled with proven, science-based research on
arthritis and its related conditions, recommended treatment plans for
relieving joint stiffness and pain, and essential self-care tips to help
you live a life free from debilitating arthritis symptoms.
Each year, more than 50 million Americans suffer from joint inflammation
and swelling caused by arthritis. Too many people have first-hand
experience with the crippling effects of the disease, effects that can
harm one's ability to work, move, and complete normal tasks in
day-to-day life.
However, knowing more about arthritis can help you move past its
impairments. Mayo Clinic Guide to Arthritis combines knowledge from
the rheumatology experts at the Mayo Clinic to teach readers about the
causes and risks associated with different types of arthritis--like
rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and other back and spine
disorders--and how to spot the warning signs of each condition.
Following the latest developments in arthritis research, the book then
highlights different treatment options available for managing the pain,
including medications, surgical procedures, physical therapies, and
types of integrative medicine. Finally, readers will learn how to live
with arthritis and protect their joints while staying active,
maintaining a healthy diet, going to work, and even traveling.
With this all-inclusive reference guide from the Mayo Clinic, learn how
to adopt a healthy lifestyle, seek professional support, and control and
minimize joint inflammation, to relieve arthritic pain once and for all.
