Fritz PT Can Help You
• Proper Nutrition. Avoid processed and sugary foods that cause inflammation in your body and negatively impact your arthritis symptoms. • Sleep. Proper rest helps the body heal, improves your immune system, and helps reduce your inflammation and pain. Physical therapy works by taking a holistic approach to reducing the pain and inflammation in your joints without medications. Treatments to improve strength, balance, and coordination have also been shown to help reduce pain and improve tolerance to daily activities. The healthier your lifestyle choices, the less wear-and-tear to your joints, thus reducing inflammation and pain.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PHYSICAL THERAPY
While many people believe that the aches and pains of arthritis are best treated with rest and avoiding any activity that hurts, this is not the case. In fact, rest and avoidance lead to more pain and disability. Exercise keeps the joints limber and the muscles strong, preventing arthritis from getting worse. Your physical therapist will examine your symptoms, severity of pain, and the location of arthritis, to determine the best individualized treatment plan for your specific needs. Every treatment regimen is different based on your body’s needs and your particular type of arthritis. The best way to get started on a holistic, safe, and healthy treatment through physical therapy is by calling and scheduling a consultation with one of our physical therapists today. We will develop a comprehensive program that includes targeted manual techniques, mobility work, and strengthening to reduce inflammation and provide greater support to the joints. We will then incorporate activity-specific treatments with balance and coordination training to ensure your safe return to doing what you love!
