The good news? Arthritis progression can often be slowed, especially when it’s caught early and managed properly.
Here are some key strategies:
- Stay active with joint-friendly movement like walking or swimming
- Strengthen surrounding muscles to protect your joints
- Eat an anti-inflammatory diet (think colorful veggies, fish, and whole grains)
- Maintain a healthy weight — even losing a few pounds can take major pressure off your joints
- Use joint protection tools (braces, supportive shoes, etc.)
- Address pain early — don’t wait for it to get unbearable
At Medici, we build long-term, minimally invasive treatment plans to protect your joints and preserve your quality of life.
