Let Us Help You Achieve Your Ideal Weight This Year

Excessive weight can contribute to your joint pain and arthritis more than you might expect. It makes sense – increased weight places more stress on your joints, which can lead to wear-and-tear damage leaving you at a higher risk of joint injuries. Not only that, but excess body fat makes your cardiovascular system work overtime to supply your bones and tissues with oxygenated blood. If you inform your physician of joint pain, weight management may be one of their first recommendations for treatment.
