Stop Osteoarthritis Now: Halting the Baby Boomers' Disease
Rheumatologist, gerontologist, and arthritis expert McIlwain and health and relationship issues writer Bruce have joined forces to produce a book that describes a five-step method for controlling and preventing osteoarthritis. Written in clear, conversational language suitable for the general reader, their book provides useful information on pain relief, exercise, weight control, joint protection, and stress relief. Also included is a chapter that describes the different types of arthritis and the factors predisposing one to osteoarthritis. The patient profiles at the end are designed to create incentives for readers to continue the treatment program. This book will be useful to readers who suffer from or are predisposed to osteoarthritis and is strongly recommended for consumer health collections in public and health sciences libraries.?Stacey Burright, Wright State Univ., Dayton, OhioCopyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc.
