VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
Joint replacements have a high success rate,
but there are alternatives: taking steps to care
for the joints you already have. The Arthritis
Foundation and the American Academy of
Orthopaedic Surgeons suggest being kind to
your joints by:
• Maintaining a healthy weight. Losing
extra pounds reduces stress and wear-
and-tear on knees, hips, back and feet.
• Exercising regularly. Physical activity
protects joints by strengthening the
muscles that support them.
• Swapping high-impact sports with
low-impact activities. Instead of tennis,
racquetball or running, try swimming,
water aerobics, walking or golf.
• Avoiding repetitive stress. Alternating
strenuous activities with rest puts less
stress on sensitive joints.
National Council of Jewish Women Greater
Detroit Section seeks volunteers to help with
Sunday brunches, activities and field trips for

• Using over-the-counter or
prescription medications to control
pain and inflammation. You can also
receive injections of corticosteroids
directly in painful knee joints.
• Taking part in physical or
occupational therapy. This can increase
joint flexibility, muscle strength and
range of motion.
• Using mechanical aids. Braces, crutches,
walkers or canes may offer some help.
When to Replace Joints
In the best of circumstances, these lifestyle
changes may be enough to improve function
and control pain. But if you have any of the
following signs, speak with your doctor about
joint replacement:
• Your joint pain is disturbing your sleep.
• You've tried different noninvasive
treatments, including pain medications,
and they're not controlling your joint
pain.
• Your joint pain is limiting your ability to
keep up a normal routine.
• Your joint pain makes it hard for you to
get out of a chair, go up stairs or get up
from the floor.

If your doctor believes you're a candidate for
joint replacement, you'll be referred to an
orthopaedic surgeon. Over the years, surgical
techniques have improved and new materials
have been developed for implants. As a result,
these surgeries have become one of the most
dependable procedures performed today.
