Quick Video Tip: Joint Arthritis Treatment

People suffering from the beginnings of joint arthritis might be tempted to think that they should cut back on activity to preserve their joints and prevent further degenerative changes.

“Not So!” says Matthew Diltz, MD, whose perspective as an orthopedist treating patients’ sports and joint problems causes him to urge caution against taking on a less active lifestyle as being counter-intuitive in efforts to preserve joints.

In this Quick Tips Video – Joint Arthritis Treatment – Dr. Diltz covers the following areas:

  • The role of activity levels
  • Impact on blood supply and nutrition
  • The risk of a sedentary lifestyle for arthritis
  • Preserving the health of the joint

“Remain active to preserve your joints,” is Dr. Diltz’s strong advice for anyone experiencing the beginning of joint arthritis problems.
