Effective Arthritis Management
Arthritis refers to inflammation in the joints, leading to pain, swelling, and difficulty moving. The most common types are osteoarthritis, which results from wear and tear on the joints, and rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune condition that attacks joint tissues. Effective arthritis management requires a combination of treatments to address both pain and mobility issues.
Physical therapy is one of the most effective tools in arthritis management. It focuses on improving joint function, mobility, and strength. Our physical therapists design custom treatment plans that include elements like exercises, education, and manual therapy techniques to reduce pain and help you feel your best.
Manual Therapy
This hands-on technique involves manipulating painful joints and muscles to relieve stiffness and improve mobility. Our physical therapists use manual therapy to loosen tight joints and muscles to promote better blood flow and manage inflammation.
Improve Range of Motion
Over time, arthritis can cause stiffness that limits your movement, so we prescribe targeted exercises to help restore mobility in the affected joints, reduce stiffness, and improve your ability to perform daily activities.
Strengthening Exercises
Building muscle around the affected joints can help reduce stress on the joints themselves. We will guide you through controlled, progressive exercises to strengthen muscles and better support your joints.
Early mobilization is crucial for maintaining joint health, especially after a flare-up of arthritis symptoms. Prolonged rest can lead to muscle atrophy and joint stiffness, which can worsen arthritis symptoms over time. Engaging in regular physical activity helps maintain joint function and improves overall quality of life.
