Arthritis is a chronic illness that can be difficult to manage and treat. There are many factors that can affect arthritis symptoms, and care for these symptoms can vary by the type of arthritis and the patient. An Arthritis Care study guide breaks the tasks needed to care for arthritis down into easy-to-follow steps. It organizes the information in a way that is relevant and helpful for the symptoms being suffered and it allows the caregiver to spend more time focused on the patient and less time consulting a book. A study guide will be far shorter than a book, but far easier to manage.

Diagnosis of osteoarthritis is also explained including descriptions of joint examination, monitoring of progression and assessment of disability. The book advocates a practical approach to osteoarthritis care, the mainstay of which is patient education and symptom management. It provides advice on both pharmacological and non-pharmacological pain management, the use of exercise, physiotherapy and weight loss where necessary.

Libraries in medical schools and universities and research establishments where nutrition, dietetics and food science are studied and taught will find it a valuable addition to their shelves.
