Book Reviews of The Arthritis Helpbook (mass mkt ed)
Book Review: Arthritis Treatments
Summary: 5 Stars
Many patients are dogged by chronic arthritis
pain and suffering. A strength of this work
is that the author reviews the different forms
and manifestations of the disease, as well as
comparative treatments. The acquisition would be
extremely useful for patients trying to develop
coping strategies for everyday living.
I find that prevention is the best coping
strategy. That is, know your triggers .
A trigger is an action that makes the symptomatology
worse. Classic triggers are :
o alcohol and smoking
o heavy creams
o coffee
o allergens of every type
The author explains the benefits of daily exercise
directed to preserving whatever functionality remains.
I find that a physical therapist is an invaluable
source. He/she can teach you how to perform everyday
motions without creating too many dangers from
falling or attempting to do activities which
make the symptomatology worse.
Acupuncture may be helpful to release excess
tension so that the limbs become more flexible
and less rigid.
Good luck and acquire this book for assistance with
arthritis issues.
