Arthritis and How to Live with It

Résumé du livre

This book brings readers up-to-date information in plain language on arthritis and current treatments available in New Zealand. The book aims to show people how to improve their quality of life if they are having to cope with this debilitating disease. The book is divided into two parts. The first is all about arthritis - its different forms, symptoms and treatments. The second part looks at living with arthritis - diet, exercise, mind/body/spirit issues and complementary therapies. There are also appendices which go into more technical details, for those who want them, on the four main types of arthritis. There is also a glossary, lists of local contacts and further reading.
