For older Americans, Osteoarthritis needs no introduction - this painful inflammation of the joints is the number one disabling disease among men and women age 40 and up. But, while the causes and cure still elude doctors, there has been much progress made in managing both the condition and the discomfort. This informative episode of "Healthy Body, Healthy Mind" looks at the latest options in surgery, drugs, and physical therapy - including an injection that not only reduces pain and swelling, but actually increases natural joint lubrication.This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media.

Well it was pretty short. When it ended me and my mother said "that's it..it's over". The DVD did show how other people successfully managed there condition and that did raise my mother's spirits but I was dissappointed in not seeing a whole lot of information regarding different treatment options.
