The Doctor Is In: Managing Joint Pain

Content is provided by Beaumont Health
Joint related medical conditions affect millions of Americans.  Chronic joint pain is on the rise because the population is aging and growing obesity rates. 

Problems with your hips, knees or shoulders can limit you from working, doing daily activities or just getting through the day.  For many people, the first steps to treating joint pain may include lifestyle changes, medication or physical therapy.  If those steps don't relieve the pain, it may be time to talk to your doctor about surgery. 

On Wednesday, join Deena Centofanti and three experts from Beaumont Health as they discuss joint pain and how to treat it, on Fox2 News Morning and Facebook Live.
