The Chronicle Getting You Back on Track “Does Arthritis Pain Grind you Down?” PHYSICAL THERAPY RELIEVES ARTHRITIS PAIN
Relieving Joint Pain Exercising is important to help reduce joint pain and stiffness. Light to moderate-intensity physical activity can actually prevent a decline in function, even restoring health. However, some people with arthritis may be reluctant to exercise because of joint pain after activity. You can take various steps to relieve pain, such as heat and cold therapy, or pain relievers, making it easier for you to exercise and stay active. In addition to physical therapy, choose non–impact exercises such as bicycling, swimming, or water exercise. Furthermore, research shows that even modest weight loss combined with exercise is more effective in decreasing pain and restoring function than either weight loss or exercise alone. If you are suffering with arthritis pain, call us today and discover how we can relieve your pain, returning you to a more active, pain-free lifestyle!
Millions of Americans suffer through arthritis pain every day, taking Ibuprofen and stronger medication to numb the pain and address the ongoing inflammation. The definition of arthritis is joint inflammation, however the term has acquired a wider meaning. Arthritis is now used as a generic term for osteoarthritis and other conditions that affect joints. The pattern, severity, and location of arthritis symptoms can vary depending on the specific form of the disease. Typically, arthritic conditions are characterized by pain and stiffness in and around one or more joints. The symptoms can develop gradually or suddenly. Certain rheumatic conditions can also involve the immune system and various internal organs of the body. Physical therapy is an important part of the ongoing treatment for arthritis. Physical therapy strengthens, stretches, and stabilizes muscles surrounding affected joints providing needed support.

Hello everyone, we have been sending out these newsletters to both practices for about six months. We’ve had lots of responses from people saying that they enjoyed getting the newsletters and that they find value in the content and hearing about what’s going on with us. We have decided to combine Mission and Coeur d’Alene newsletters into one. We hope that you will find the adult information just as valuable as a kid information! If you no longer wish to be on our mailing list please contact either clinic and let us know. If you have specific things that you want to hear about, you can send us a request through Facebook (Synergy Healthcare or Synergy Pediatric Therapy) or call the clinic directly and we will be happy to do research and get your questions answered. We so appreciate all of you being part of our Synergy family. If you have a health problem and aren’t sure if we can help, give
us a call. We are a nose to toes kind of company and really will try to get your needs met. I know a lot of really good providers and can get you pointed in the right direction if we can’t do it.
We know that sometimes it’s hard to explain what we do, this is one of the reasons we are sending these newsletters out to you. You can give this newsletter to your friends and family as a way to explain what we do and why we do it the way we do it. Best always, Shauna
