Arthritis Accounts for Millions of Ambulatory Care Visits

 

Portland, OR -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/06/2014 -- There are quite a number of medical conditions that affect and worry people nowadays, and one is arthritis. Millions of people in the United States and worldwide suffer from the condition and this is extremely alarming.

“There are over 100 rheumatic diseases that affect the joints and the tissues that surround them. The severity and patterns of the symptoms can vary depending on the type of arthritic condition that a person is suffering from,” said VitaBreeze Supplements spokesperson, Michelle O’Sullivan.

Statistics showed that arthritis is one of the major reasons why people seek medical care in the United States. According to the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey, there was a recorded 78 million ambulatory care visits associated with arthritis and rheumatic conditions in just one year.

The National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey or NAMCS as well as the National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey or NHAMCS reported that there were around 44.2 million visits by adults diagnosed with AORC or Arthritis and Other Rheumatic Conditions. These visits took place in emergency departments, physician offices, and acute care hospital outpatient.

“Arthritis is highly prevalent nowadays, and this is why thousands of people are using treatment options that many health experts believe to be a solution to the condition. These management options are often pain relief drugs such as NSAIDs and natural supplements,” added O’Sullivan.

People who make ambulatory care visits normally experience unbearable pain while doing some physical activities. There are also those that end up having injuries due to arthritis. The consequences in having arthritis can be unpleasantly life-changing, as there are sufferers who leave their jobs and are not able to perform their daily routines because of the condition.

Reduced mobility and injuries are often the results of having arthritis, especially those who have not taken any drug or treatment. There are patients who are unaware of the condition they are suffering from and have not taken measures to avoid injuries.

Glucosamine supplements are a widely known natural supplement used for arthritis. This natural pain relief option is considered as a safer and more effective alternative to NSAIDs. According to patients who relied on glucosamine supplements, they were able to find significant relief in using the natural alternative (http://www.amazon.com/Glucosamine-Sulfate-Chondroitin-Supplement-Turmeric/dp/B00DUMO9X4/). .
