How can you stop or prevent arthiritis?

It depends: For conditions such as rheumatoid, we have medications to help put the disease is remission. For osteoarthritis, weight loss may slow progression on weight bearing joints. Unfortunately there is no cure or any ultimate to prevent arthritis from occuring.
