Arthritis

Posted by Monique Wright - email
HENRICO, VA (WWBT) -

Dr. Edwin Robinson is helping his patients cope with arthritis.

Arthritis can affect any joint. It is more common in the hands, knees, shoulders, neck and lower lumbar back.

You can prevent arthritis by practicing a healthy lifestyle. Exercise in general is considered helpful.

Patients should be evaluated when pain and loss of function of an area persists. Waiting to see what happens, an at-home regiment of rest, modification of activity or a trial of over the counter medication is not helpful.
