World Arthritis Day
Did you know that evidence shows that dinosaurs had arthritis in their ankles? It’s been noted in humans as far back as 4500 B.C.
This day raises awareness about the many forms of arthritis, inflammation of the joints, that afflict many people.? While many of our elderly population over the age of 65 are afflicted, it also affects 30% of those under 65, including teenagers.
We have made great strides in understanding and caring for those stricken with the disease but there is more work to be done.
We at Private Home Health Care understand how joint pain can cause mobility issues. We strongly advocate early detection and exercising and physical therapy to keep joints loose and decrease inflammation.? Walking and a healthy diet are good ways to help yourself.
