Healthy Living: Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis is often referred to as a “wear-and-tear” disease, and because of the repetitive nature of their work, nail techs are at risk to develop this form of arthritis. Spot the symptoms and learn ways to prevent and treat this painful condition.

Age, diet, weight, and other factors also play into the odds. Learn to identify your risk factors and recognize and treat these unsightly, sometimes painful veins.
