Over the last several decades, significant advances have occurred in the understanding and treatment of arthritis. People diagnosed with arthritis today have hope – and a great likelihood – that their disease can be treated and put into remission.
It has been my pleasure to help create Mayo Clinic Guide to Arthritis, and I’m grateful for the contributions of many colleagues. This book will provide high-quality, reliable, up-to-date information to help you lead a more active life.
Inside you'll find:
How different types of arthritis affect your body
The latest advances in medications, surgery and other treatment options
Integrative medicine and self-care treatments backed by scientific evidence
How exercise, diet, work and daily habits play a role in managing the disease
Important steps to take in caring for your mental health with arthritis
Tips for protecting your joints throughout daily movement
Whether arthritis affects you, your family or someone else in your life, Mayo Clinic Guide to Arthritis will leave you with a better understanding of the condition, symptoms and ways to manage life with arthritis. Most importantly, this book aims to provide you and your family with hope.
