Halting damage from arthritis

Hi Gabrielle,

Absolutely !!!  Well, let me qualify that.  It depends upon the type of arthritis.  Some of the most destructive types of arthritis - e.g., rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis - can be halted with currently available treatments.  However, for the most common type of arthritis - i.e., osteoarthritis (also called "wear and tear" arthritis or degenerative arthritis) - our treatments only reduce pain but do not prevent further damage.  Researchers are actively working on better treatment for osteoarthritis.
