With 25.9 Percent of Women and 18.3 Percent of Men Living with Arthritis in the U.S., Pinnacle Health Announces their Aggressive Approach to Relief from Arthritis

(PRWEB) October 22, 2012

Pinnacle health’s aggressive approach to treating arthritis, the leading cause of disability in the United States, provides relief for many people suffering from severe limitations in function on a daily basis. Arthritis literally means "joint inflammation," and it's used to label over 100 different ailments that affect joints and the surrounding tissue. The two most common forms of arthritis are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Osteoarthritis consists of pain, stiffness, or inflammation and most frequently appears in the hands, hips, and knees. Rheumatoid arthritis commonly affects the hands and wrists but is not limited to only affecting the joints.

Arthritis can be debilitating and life altering. The British Medical Journal reports that “Pierre-Auguste Renoir, the French impressionist painter, had crippling arthritis for the last 25 years of his life. With hands that were so deformed that he could not pick up a paintbrush, in later years the brush had to be placed in his deformed fingers so he could paint”. The Arthritis Society estimated that the overall price of arthritis cases is near $100 billion of which close to 50% is a result of lost incomes.
