Osteoarthritis doesn't have to change your lifestyle. Put together the team you need to win, starting with your doctor. Your doctor can partner you with the right talent to help you reach your goals.
The members of your team may depend on the progression of your osteoarthritis early, progressing, advanced or severe. Your team members could include a nutritionist, a physical therapist or an orthopaedic specialist.
Working with your team you can develop a plan that will get you back in action. It could include one solution or a combination of approaches including lifestyle changes, therapy or surgical solutions. Choose a doctor with whom you feel comfortable and who is receptive to your questions.
