Finally, it is important to emphasize a few major misconceptions about arthritis. First of all, arthritis can be a serious disease. It is very important to make an accurate diagnosis, particularly of the rheumatoid type. Many people are under the impression that nothing much can be done for arthritis. This is definitely untrue. With early, proper, and continued treatment, a great deal can be done. A short stay in a lifestyle or wellness center for nutritional education, hydrotherapy, and diagnostic evaluation is well worth the time and money. Sometimes all progressive crippling can be prevented. Distortion of the joints, which has already occurred, may be greatly reduced if not corrected. It is likewise not true that arthritis affects only old people. Some of the elderly were struck with arthritis when they were relatively young. Juvenile forms of rheumatoid arthritis are also known and rarely may be seen from infancy. Find out what kind of arthritis it is, then go to work in removing the cause, aiding nature in her valiant effort to combat this problem.
