Shoes For Arthritis

Arthritis, in general terms, is inflammation and swelling of the cartilage and lining of the joints, generally accompanied by an increase in the fluid in the joints. The feet are more susceptible to arthritis than other parts of the body because each foot has 33 joints than can be afflicted.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

The objectives in the treatment of arthritis are controlling inflammation, preserving joint function(or restoring it if it has been lost), and curing the disease if that's possible. The control of foot functions with shoe inserts called orthoses, or with braces or specially prescribed shoes.
