Common types of arthritis include: Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis.
Osteoarthritis affects bone joints and Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disorder that targets your joints and can cause pain in your internal organs.
Leading signs of arthritis are decreases in physical activity or increased pain throughout the body. Arthritis worsens over time if left unchecked so it is essential to go see your doctor if you experience any of the early warning signs. We pride ourselves on working alongside patients with both types of arthritis, giving practical next steps for recovery and healing. Whether you want to discuss prescription or OTC options, your Summer’s Pharmacy pharmacist can provide insight on which treatments work best for your condition.

Improving Women’s Bone Health
As women age, the calcium levels in their bones begin to diminish. In addition, during menopause, women can experience rapid bone loss due to hormonal changes. Calcium and vitamin D are among the supplements women can take to help keep their bones strong. You can help the strong women in your life stay strong as well by:
Take a walk with them. Weight-bearing exercises are great for maintaining healthy bone density.
Ensure they get enough calcium and vitamin D since both help build strong bones.
Have her schedule a bone density scan to help determine bone loss and bone breaks. This scan should be repeated every two years to keep track of bone health.
Talk to your Summer’s Pharmacy Pharmacist to find out what other supplements and prescriptions can help the remarkable woman in your life maintain good bone health.
