Health Tip: Living With Osteoarthritis
(HealthDay News) -- Exercise can help improve many symptoms of osteoarthritis, a joint disease that causes pain and stiffness.
The Arthritis Foundation mentions these potential benefits of exercise to people with osteoarthritis: • Reduced stiffness and pain. • Stronger joints, better joint function and improved range of motion. • A possible slowing of arthritis progression. • Reduced risk of other chronic conditions, such as obesity or heart disease. Before you begin any exercise regimen, discuss your plans with your doctor.
