What Arthritis is and what is not:

This is not such an easy question as it may seem to answer. For the purpose of this blog we will look at it from a swollen joint perspective.

arth: joint
itis: swelling

This class will look at three different perspectives of knowledge which is both thousands of years old, as well as the newest science in the area of joint health and integrity. Being a chiropractor, I deal with joints all day long. We deal with the most highly organized organism in the known universe. And it is entirely encased in bones and joints.
