Maintaining Healthy Joints and Feet from the Ground Up
Manage episode 507100988 series 3590893
Joints are more than just bone meeting bone.
They’re made up of the support structures around them: cartilage, tendons, ligaments, muscles — and even the fluid in between. As we age, wear and tear, stiffness and pain can prevent joints from working the way they used to.
In this episode of Aging Forward, orthopedic surgeon Dr. Pamela Mehta talks shoulders, knees and toes. She breaks down how diet affects joint health, explains why joint replacement surgery isn’t always the best option, and weighs in on the barefoot shoe trend.
