Walking is the best medicine

Despite the known benefits of physical activity to help manage arthritis, adults with arthritis are less active than adults without arthritis.¹ Walking has been shown to improve arthritis pain, fatigue, function, and quality of life.² Walking is low impact on your joints, can be done almost anywhere and doesn't require special equipment or a gym membership. Celebrate Arthritis Awareness Month by starting a walking program today.

This April during Alcohol Awareness Month, Pride Pharmacy encourages you to take this time to educate yourself and your loved ones about the dangers of drinking too much.
