The keys to healthy living are also keys to preventing and managing arthritis. 

Orthopedic surgeon for HSHS Good Shepherd Hospital in Shelbyville Dr. John Powell says diet, exercise and maintaining healthy weight are all important at preventing arthritis. 

Dr. Powell reviews the three different types of arthritis: Degenerative, inflammatory, and post-traumatic arthritis. 

If diagnosed with arthritis, there are management techniques you can use before opting for joint replacement surgery. 

Dr. Powell says the first step in management is determining how your arthritis began in the first place.
