MURRAY, UT — Arthritis is the most common cause of disability in the United States. And the number of people who deal with it is increasing. This month people with arthritis can learn how to better manage arthritis by attending free educational seminars at TOSH–The Orthopedic Specialty Hospital in Murray.

“Osteoarthritis currently affects more than 21 million people in the United States and that number climbs every year,” said Dale Aguirre, manager of TOSH’s Living My Best Osteoarthritis program. “These classes are designed to give information about arthritis and the most current treatment options available.”
