Did you know that winter weight gain and cold, snowy weather can exacerbate arthritis pain? Osteoarthritis is the leading cause of hip and knee pain in older adults, and it is affecting younger adults earlier. Active young people with demanding lives often damage their joints and look for relief from arthritis pain in order to continue their activities. Winter is the perfect time for new ideas on treating hip and knee pain.

Now available: a complimentary handbook on hip and knee pain that includes exercise tips to strengthen muscles around the joints to help alleviate the pain. The booklet, offered by the Neurologic & Orthopedic Hospital of Chicago, also provides treatment options for those cases where preventative measures fail.

Some of those treatment options include: hip resurfacing, gender knees, mobile bearing knees and magnum hips.

The Handbook on Hip and Knee Pain can be obtained by calling 1-773-250-1000 or requesting it through the website, www.neuro-ortho.org.
