Dr Andrew Shiller, integrative medicine physician, shares some new insights into the modern understanding of osteoarthritis, and what you can do to reduce pain and slow inflammation, without toxic drugs.
Conventional medicine has long held that osteoarthritis is due to wear and tear, and the main treatment is weight loss. Recent science has shown that inflammation is an important part of the process. Ironically, the same NSAID drugs that are commonly prescribed for osteoarthritis can worsen the process that causes inflammation and make it worse! In contrast, there are nutrients that not only reduce the pain as well as NSAIDs, but may slow the inflammatory process that make arthritis worse.
