THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ARTHRITIS
People in the United States spend
approximately $130 billion on
arthritis treatments each year.
Because arthritis is so common,
it’s no wonder we have plethora
of available treatments both effec-
tive and not effective.
A crucial thing to do is get a cor-
rect diagnosis. Some illnesses,
like gout, can have arthritis-like
symptoms. Additionally, the
diagnosis needs to determine the
correct type of arthritis. This will
always determine correct and ef-
fective treatment. Rheumatoid,
virus-caused, or any of the 100
other types of arthritis, need to be
treated correctly.
The right food choices can also

make a difference. Some foods
help fight inflammation (local and
systemic)-a problem common with
arthritis. And, keeping food intake
appropriate will also help main-
tain healthy body weight, thus
minimizing stress on joints. Lean
meats and fish, plenty of fresh
vegetables and a lot of omega-3
fatty acids are the best choices to
help with arthritis treatment.
Exercise is also some of the best
medicine for arthritis. Inactiv-
ity can simply lead to additional
joint deterioration. Low-impact,
range-of-motion exercise such as
aqua aerobics, yoga and cycling
are perfect for achy joints. These
exercises stimulate circulation,
strengthen muscles used to stabi-
lize joints, and loosen tight, sore
muscles.
At the first sign of chronic joint
pain, many people reach for the
glucosamine supplements. This
may not be the cure it is believed
to be. Glucosamine is a com-
pound naturally occurring in the

joints and surrounding cartilage.
The pill is believed to help to
rebuild joints. This treatment may
provide some short-tem pain relief
when injected into the joint. Pill
form typically provides little help.
We spend more money treat-
ing arthritis than we do cancer.
Money well spent is getting accu-
rate diagnosis and getting effec-
tive treatments. Not everything
believed to provide help with
arthritis can actually make a differ-
