Patrick McGowan
PMCID: PMC2280678  PMID: 21234067

Abstract

Family physicians will have increasing numbers of patients with arthritis in their practices during the 1990s. Medical management is often complicated by subclinical psychologic, social, and emotional problems, and other problems of everyday living that affect the care of these people. The author reviews some typical patients with arthritis and offers practical suggestions about non-medical treatments that can assist them.

Keywords: arthritis, family medicine, psychosocial problems, rheumatology, social work
