Arthritis Digest Magazine 2019 Issue 5 Vorige editie

There isn’t one sole approach when it comes to pain – wise words from champion curler, Hammy McMillan Junior, who is interviewed in the fifth issue of 2019. Throughout the issue it is evident that Hammy’s point rings true. From exercise, yoga and acupuncture to invasive
radiofrequency treatment, intra-articular hyaluronic acid injections and reverse shoulder replacement surgery, a host of drug-free options are discussed. Reiki can be a wonderful approach to take to pain management and is investigated on pages 8 and 9. Even exergaming – using video games that encourage exercise – is linked to less ¬fibromyalgia pain on page 29.
For a little light relief, a round-up of fabulous foodie products for people with arthritis are showcased within, and along the same lines, a handful of regional delights and best places to ¬find them are reviewed towards the end of the issue.
