Book Description
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.
Editorial Reviews
Review
Arthritis and You: A Comprehensive Digest for Patients and Caregivers is an excellent resource for those who are facing the painful, frightening and often confusing challenge of arthritis. This is an invaluable, no-nonsense guide to understanding the complex nature of the condition, as well as the medical and alternative treatment options available. As one who has journeyed with arthritis, I can say that the most important discussion of this book – and the one left out of most others – is on the importance of nurturing positive emotions as an arthritis patient or caregiver.
This is a very good review of information on some of the different types of arthritis. The book is valuable for both patients as well as clinicians.
