If you suffer from back, knee or hip pain, then you may have osteoarthritis in those joints. Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common condition of the joints, affecting approximately 27 million Americans. Although it occurs in people of all ages, osteoarthritis is most common in people older than 65. In osteoarthritis, there is a breakdown in the cartilage covering the ends of bones. As the cartilage wears away, the bones become exposed and rub against each other. The deterioration of cartilage also affects the shape and makeup of the joint so that it no longer functions smoothly. The ligaments and tendons around the joint become stiff and themuscles that support the joint become weak. This leads to even more painful rubbing of the joint surfaces. There are many studies and patient success stories promoting the effectiveness of physical therapy for osteoarthritis. Our expert therapists are trained specifically in treating patients suffering from osteoarthritis and work to obtain optimal results. Call us today to learn more about our Back, Hip and Knee Program and say good-bye to that aching back, hip and knee.

“Relieving Arthritis Pain.” STUDY PROVES RESULTS FROM PHYSICAL THERAPY
In a medical study, 83 patients with osteoarthritis were assigned to receive either hands-on physical therapy (treatment group) or a pill that actually did nothing to help their painwithout them knowing (placebo group). Tests were done to measure how well the people were doing 4 weeks, 8 weeks and 1 year later. The results were very impressive with the patients who had hands-on physical therapy combined with gentle, specific exercises, having significant improvements in their pain, mobility and function. By 8 weeks, patients were able to walk further and faster withmuch less or completely resolved pain. Their joint stiffness, aches and mobility had improved by 55% as compared to the
group who had no treatment. At one year, patients in the treatment group still were doing great in terms of less pain and more mobility. Other benefits included less need for surgery with only 5% of patients in the treatment group having undergone surgery as compared to 20% with the placebo group.

PATIENT RESULTS
I was able to do many activities again with no pain! “I was previously here after a knee surgery and completely healed from great physical therapy work. When I experienced a nagging hamstring issue, I knew exactly where to go to get help. Danny and the staff are great and treated my injury to where I was able to do many activities again with no pain. I am very active and without Canyon Sports Therapy, I would not be able to continue doing what I love. Thank you!” - R.D. My fat is going to shed tears! “I came here with a grade three ankle sprain, right when my favorite season, cricket season, was about about to start. With an injured ankle I couldn’t play or do kick boxing, and even put on weight. Danny and his team put a lot of attention and care on my ankle and hip to get me back on track. Today, Danny gave me the thumbs up to go back to the field to play cricket and do kick boxing. Today onwards, ‘my fat is going to shed tears’. Thank you Danny! You and your team rock. Thanks to Dr. Stuart Willick who referred me to Canyon Sports Therapy.” - S.S.
