Together, these diseases affect more than 22 million Americans, many of whom believe that there is no reliable, practical, or affordable treatment for their pain and discomfort. This work, designed as a comprehensive resource handbook for patients suffering from osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis, provides a user-friendly guide to modern holistic, medical, and surgical treatments. The author provides a thorough overview of the most popular conservative treatments--including pain medications, exercise, nutrition therapy, and alternative health treatments. The author also provides a guide to more invasive surgical approaches, providing helpful resources and tips for selecting a surgeon, preparing for surgery, and facilitating a healthy recovery. |
