A brief YouTube advice segment by Dr. Joshua John-Ram Schacter encouraging people with joint pain to focus on overall health to avoid specialist interventions. He advises coordinating with a primary care doctor, joining wellness programs, exercising, improving diet, and pursuing weight loss as critical for joint health.
If you want your joint pain to improve, if you want to keep from seeing somebody that's a specialist like me, then take some time to think about your overall health. Coordinate with your family practice doctor, get on a wellness program, exercise, diet, weight loss. These are all critical things for joint health. And so I can't encourage you enough, get out there, do some of this yourself so that you don't end up having to have an intervention.
