Can my family doctor help me with arthritis?
My grandmother has arthritis symptoms, like slowed movements, swelling, and pain. Because she moved away from her doctor, she's having difficulties finding a new that's close to her. Can a family practitioner help her manage it?

Yes. Start with your family doctor who can make the necessary referrals, if needed.
Yes absolutely. Family practice providers are well versed on caring for patients and arthritis. Arthritis is an inflammatory condition and decreasing the amount of inflammatory foods will help with pain relief.
