There's no cure for arthritis, but there are many treatments that can help manage the pain as well as slow the progression. Common interventions include chiropractic care, lifestyle changes, medicines and surgery. Treatment aims to slow the condition's progress and minimize joint inflammation to help prevent damage to the joint.
The risk of many types of arthritis increases with age. In addition, women are more likely than men to develop rheumatoid arthritis, while men are more likely to develop gout, which is another type of arthritis.
The most common triggers are excessive activity or pressure on the joint. Other triggers can include diet, stress, repetitive motions, cold weather, an infection or weight gain.

Dr. Mike is personable and listens to his patients. My primary interaction with him was with one of my wrestlers that was tryin to get back on the mat after numerous surgeries.
