Abstract
Arthritis is a common condition seen frequently by family practitioners, and there are many
types of arthritis. Management of arthritis depends largely on the specific type of arthritis that
the patient suffers from. In this article, we will provide the primary care doctor with practical
information for managing arthritis, focussing on the management of osteoarthritis and
rheumatoid arthritis.
