The slow progression of arthritis can be debilitating as joints begin to swell and sometimes become twisted as an autoimmune disorder causes the body to attacks joints and tissues. The other common cause of arthritis is natural wear and tear, injury or infections that serve to break down cartilage tissue and this continues if not addressed properly. Traditional medicine offers only pain meds, that may provide relief but come with pernicious side effects, or surgery, which should be avoided if possible. One of the primary goals of The Healthy Back Institute, co-founded by Jesse Cannone, is to find and provide strategies for natural relief from just such chronic conditions.

The body must be given a chance to work in a positive instead of a destructive manner and that is what Dr. Mark Wiley's book, Arthritis Reversed: 30 Days to Lasting Relief from Joint Pain and Arthritis, seeks to achieve. Jesse Cannone, who has interviewed Dr. Wiley on numerous occasions about chronic pain relief, offers this informative book on his website at The Healthy Back Institute.   

Dr. Wiley, who holds Doctorates in Oriental & Alternative Medicine, began his quest for natural answers to chronic pain after suffering from debilitating migraine headaches from an early age. His physician father tried everything within his knowledge and means, but nothing worked and so Dr. Wiley traveled the world seeking his own path to living a pain free life.

First on the agenda must be finding the underlying, often hidden, causes of arthritic symptoms in each particular case, for everyone has different genetics and physical history to consider. Wiley emphasizes that these "are actually obvious root causes and contributors that are only 'hidden' because you have not (yet) been taught to look for and identify them."

In the pages of Arthritis Reversed, Dr. Wiley answers common questions such as Is exercise helpful or harmful?, What role does weather REALLY play in arthritis?, When is arthroscopic surgery helpful for arthritis?, How long should you wait for any particular therapy to work?

Employing this knowledge to reduce one's pain and halt or slow the progression of the condition, typically within 30 to 90 days, is the overriding goal of Dr. Wiley and by proxy Jesse Cannone.

The solution to your daily suffering is grounded in a five-part process called, the Arthritis Relief Action Plan:

Part 1: Educate yourself about the real causes and solutions of arthritis

Part 2: Reduce the current level of symptoms you are experiencing

Part 3: Halt or significantly reduce the worsening of your condition

Part 4: Prevent the symptoms from flaring to improve your quality of life

Part 5: Regenerate healthy tissue to reverse the damage done
