By Dava Sobel, Arthur C. Klein
This guide to treating arthritis combines two bestsellers in one, "Arthritis: What Really Works" and "Arthritis: What Exercises Really Work". Together they attempt to provide answers for every arthritis problem: conventional medicine, drugs, alternative therapies, surgery, self-help techniques, diet and 200 pages of illustrated exercise plans.
By Michael Reed Gach
This is a practical, self-help programme for all arthritis sufferers, combining the natural techniques of acupressure, massage and gentle yoga-stretching in daily exercises and routines. Each exercise is designed to stimulate a series of key acupressure points, and a 15- minute session, two or three times a day, should be all that is needed to relieve the pressure - and therefore the pain - in stiff joints, reducing and possibly eliminating the need for prescription drugs.
By Robert Youngson
Rheumatism and arthritis affect over ten per cent of the population, and account for more visits to the doctor than any other long-term physical problem. This is a guide to all the different causes of aches in the joints, stiffness and muscle pain, and the ways in which they can be helped. It includes information about surgery and drug treatments, practical suggestions about how to cope with pain, including complementary approaches, and advice about mobility and equipment to make life easier.
By Phyllis Eisenstein, Samuel M. Scheiner
By Derrick Brewerton
This book - intended to dispel the mystique and folklore surrounding arthritis - explains clearly the scientific aspects of arthritis research and treatment. Brewerton tells the story of arthritis research, from the days before germs were recognised as causes of disease and when reasons for inflammation were obscure, to the present, when breakthroughs in genetics, epidemiology, x-ray crystallography, cell biology and molecular biology support major advances in research and treatment. He also addresses the human elements, discussing the role in arthritis of such factors as age, gender, emotions, pain and personality. Brewerton ends the story on a hopeful note, carefully explaining the prospects for prevention and treatment.
