Book Description
Up-to-the-minute drug therapies, medical and surgical options, and physical therapy evaluations and treatments for arthritis are featured in this useful new reference. Sufferers of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis--two of the most widely diagnosed articular disorders encountered by health care professionals--are often left disabled and require close medical supervision. The contributors to this timely book--a physical therapist, a physician, a surgeon, and a clinical pharmacist, all of whom work closely with arthritis patients--examine the pathology and clinical features of the disease as well as report on successful and innovative management techniques.

Book Description
When you wake up, are your joints the first things to speak to you? Do you have swollen, stiff, or achy joints? Have you been told you have arthritis? Do you know when it is going to rain, just by the soreness level in your joints? Are you tired of missing activities with family and loved ones because of your arthritis? Do you ever want to feel “normal” again? Many people think of arthritis as the end of living. “I have arthritis. It is just going to keep getting worse and worse. There’s nothing I can do about it”. WRONG! It’s true that once arthritis occurs, it is always there. But there are many ways to improve your pain, movement, strength, and functioning even with arthritis! Over the years I have found it increasing hard for people to find accurate information on healing their pain. Sure, there is a ton of information out there! Just search “arthritis” on the internet and thousands upon thousands of sites will come up. But is it accurate? Can you really believe it? Much of it is misleading. It is someone trying to sell you something. Others are just plain wrong! So how is a non-medical person supposed to find accurate information on improving their pain? That is why I wrote this book. I hope you enjoy it. And if you like it, please share it with a friend.~ Dr. Sara S. Morrison
