Living with arthritis
Description
One out of three American adults suffers from arthritis or related joint pain. This program examines the widespread affliction and the treatment protocols for it. Explaining the difference between arthritis pain and the natural stiffness of aging, the program describes the early warning signs of the disease, demonstrates its impact when left untreated, and details treatment options. Expert medical commentary is provided by Dr. John Klimkeiwicz of Georgetown Medical Center, Dr. John Bruno of the Tennessee Orthopedic Alliance, and Dr. Wayne Goldstein of the Illinois Bone and Joint Institute-the creator of sophisticated joint implants that have given arthritis sufferers unprecedented mobility.
