Tips for managing rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis.

A rheumatologist breaks down the real differences between rheumatoid and osteoarthritis, and how to manage either one.

Do you suffer from arthritis? Whether acute or chronic, it can put a real damper on your day. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Tonya Baker, a physician specializing in rheumatology, for some pro tips.

Dr. Baker runs her own clinic with an approach to care that goes beyond the typical medical model, which we get into on the episode. We cover:

  • Common misconceptions about arthritis
  • The real differences between rheumatoid and osteoarthritis
  • How treatment has changed over time
  • How to reduce your risk

If you or someone you know deals with arthritis, this episode covers the major steps you can take to manage it.
