Arthritis Medications

Every case of chronic arthritis is different, and your doctor's assessment will help in deciding if long-term treatment is required. The optimum management for you will depend on which kind of arthritis you have, among other factors.

 

Joint Replacement

This brochure is designed for people who are considering or have already decided to have joint replacement surgery. It will help give you a better idea of what to expect and it might help you to come up with questions to ask your health practitioners as you weigh up whether joint replacement surgery might be a good option for you.

 

Back Pain

The aim of this brochure is to provide general information about the nature and management of back pain. It is not a substitute for expert advice, especially if pain is severe or ongoing. It is designed to help you find out what kinds of treatments are generally available, who to see if you do need expert help and what to expect if you see a health practitioner about back pain.
