Management of Osteoarthritis with Glucosamine
Conservative Management of Spinal Osteoarthritis with Glucosamine Sulfate and Chiropractic Treatment.
Article Summary:
The use of nonsteroidal anti inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is a common treatment for arthritis. However, NSAIDs have little effect on the arthritis, and produce many side effects that are detrimental to other organ systems in the body. A more appropriate treatment for arthritis would involve trying to keep the joints mobile through exercise and diet, and using supplements such as glucosamine sulfate to aid in the pain reduction and regeneration of destroyed joints.
