Dr. Nikesh Seth was voted “Top Doc” once again in 2019, and he garnered the most votes from his peers compared to any other doctor in the running. That’s the kind of excellence you want if you’re looking for alternatives to treating arthritis pain, and it’s what you can expect at Integrated Pain Consultants.

There are many things you can do in your daily life to decrease the odds of developing arthritis or arthritic pain. One is to stop smoking, particularly if you’ve smoked for over two decades. A recent study in Arthritis Care & Research shows that smoking is a big risk factor for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In fact, in a study of over 230,000 people, it revealed that the risk for RA decreases steadily for every year a person stops smoking.

Another important factor in the battle against arthritis is staying physical. As little as ten minutes per day of activity can do wonders for staying off or naturally treating arthritis. However, for overall health, 150 minutes per week of moderate exercise are recommended.

Sometimes doing everything right isn’t enough. There are many potential factors linked to various types of arthritis, and genetics is one. This doesn’t mean you have to suffer. There are plenty of options for arthritis pain relief, including alternative treatments, pain management prescriptions, and physical therapy.

Working with a pain management professional who puts your health and safety first is critical. At Integrated Pain Consultants, a customized plan is put into place that works with you and your lifestyle. Sometimes prescription pain management is helpful, and it can be very effective if used under the guidance of a holistically-minded professional. Other times patients prefer to avoid drugs and rely solely on alternative therapies. Both are a possibility with the Top Doc.
