Osteoarthritis

If you stay immobile due to pain, it will only make the joint further stiff and hence staying active is the key to fight it. The process of degeneration cannot be stopped but it can definitely be slowed down. That’s where the role of proper management comes in the case of OA. In fact, beating OA takes more than just pills.
