Arthritis is the number one cause of disability in the U.S. with
more than 40 million people diagnosed; that number is expected to
rise as baby boomers continue to age. Yet few understand what
arthritis really is, how it develops, and what sufferers can do to
minimize its impact on daily activities and quality of life. Here,
Naheed Ali weighs in with insight into the inner workings of
arthritis and the treatment options available to patients. By first
defining arthritis, and examining its causes and symptoms, Ali
provides readers with the knowledge they need to understand what is
going on in their bodies, what they can do if they suspect they
have arthritis, and how to prevent it if they don't. He examines
the various types of arthritis - from juvenile to rheumatoid and
beyond - and the various medical practitioners involved in its
diagnosis and treatment. Building on the current medical treatments
available, Ali offers information about alternative and natural
approaches, as well as lifestyle adjustments helpful in mitigating
the symptoms. Whole family approaches that include caregivers and
what they can do for their loved ones suffering from arthritis are
also discussed. Readers will appreciate the comprehensive and
thoughtful approach Ali takes to his topic, and will come away with
the tools they need to live well with arthritis.
