Dr. Joshua John-Ram Schacter (speaker) advises that improving overall health—through exercise, diet, weight loss, and coordinated care with family and primary doctors—can reduce joint pain and help patients avoid specialist interventions. He emphasizes proactive self-care via wellness programs.
If you want your joint pain to improve, if you want to keep from seeing somebody like, 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.
