NIP ARTHRITIS PAIN IN THE BUD RELIEVING ARTHRITIC PAINS IN YOUR UPPER EXTREMITIES

How Physical Therapy Can Help People have found enormous success in upper extremity arthritis relief through physical therapy treatments. Before you can understand why physical therapy is so important for arthritic pain relief, you must first understand how it works. Physical therapy offers a variety of natural and conservative treatments aimed at promoting healing, relieving pain, improving range of motion, and increasing muscle strength. These treatments focus on the upper extremity as a whole, including the wrist, forearm, elbow, arm, and shoulder. Our physical therapists treat injuries and ailments that affect the upper extremity by targeting the source of your pain and working toward returning the affected area to its highest level of function.

You use your hands, elbows, and shoulders hundreds of times throughout the day for both basic and complex tasks. This can make it extremely difficult when living with arthritis, which limits your ability to move freely. If you are living with arthritis, you’re not alone. In fact, there are over 100 different types of arthritis that people are diagnosed with. Arthritis pain is directly correlated to mobility limitation in your joints, muscles, ligaments, and tendons. The more freedom of movement in your joints, strength in your muscles, and improved circulation, the less you will be affected by arthritic inflammation and pain.
