Clinical practitioners not adhering to evidence-based guidelines for osteoarthritis
New research found clinicians who care for patients with osteoarthritis (OA) are likely not following standard care guidelines that are based on current medical evidence. Researchers noted physicians were prescribing medications for pain and inflammation, or opting for surgical interventions rather than recommending weight loss plans or exercise programs to OA patients. Details of the this study are available in the January 2011 issue of Arthritis Care & Research, a journal published by Wiley-Blackwell on behalf of the American College of Rheumatology.

ReplyDeleteThank you both for your comments. My mission is to give the public information they can use everyday and also to give information that most people will never hear about. If we take control of our health by arming ourselves with information, then the drug companies loose that control.
