Ride Through The Best Treatment! RELIEVING LOWBACK, HIP&KNEE ARTHRITIS PAIN
What Is Arthritis, Exactly? Before knowing how to relieve arthritic pain, you’ll need to understand it. Arthritis—or the painful stiffness, or inflammation, of joints— isn’t a single disease. The term “arthritis” is an informal explanation of joint pain and disease in general. Over 100 types of arthritis exist, asserts the Arthritis Foundation. People of all ages, races and sex can get it. It’s also the leading cause of ongoing disability in America.
If you’re constantly facing lower back, hip and knee pain—you might be feeling arthritis. According to the Centers for Disease Control, roughly 54.4 million U.S. adults are diagnosed with some form of arthritis per year. As we age, our bones wear down. Are yours? If they are, don’t worry. It’s possible to alleviate the symptoms. It’s even possible to eliminate them entirely. If you have regular aches and pains, keep reading. We have a solution.
If you want to return to a pain-free, active lifestyle, contact us today to schedule an appointment at (901) 317-7054.

ARE YOU AT RISK FOR HIP OR KNEE REPLACEMENT SURGERY? PHYSICAL THERAPY CAN HELP!
According to Harvard Medical School, along with diet and exercise to reduce weight, improving your flexibility can help you avoid hip or knee replacement surgery. Because your muscles absorb the shock from the impact of each and every step you take, the stronger your muscles are, the less that shock is transferred into the joints. Physical therapy helps you achieve your weight loss goals while improving the strength and flexibility of your muscles that support your joints. Through a custom exercise and stretching regimen tailored to your needs, Arlington Physical therapy can help you prevent the pain and financial cost of surgery. Call us today to find out if we can help you avoid the risks of joint replacement surgery.

NON-SURGICAL PAIN RELIEF: DRY NEEDLING Physical therapy tends to be associated with sports injuries, along with chronic problems such as back pain, surgery recovery, and balance issues. Yet, you may not realize the range of problems which physical therapy can help – both for pain management and to help ease other symptoms. Does an official month really matter, given that physical therapists are out there making a difference every day? If you have any questions about whether you should seek physical therapy, call our office today to discuss your condition and to set up an evaluation.
When your physical therapist inserts the needle into the muscle, the goal is to produce a local twitch response (LTR). This LTR will relieve the muscle trigger point and may reduce the pain you are experiencing. After treatment, the goal is to see improvements such as increased range of motion and a decrease in symptoms. Dry needling has been successful with the following conditions: • Neck and Back Pain
• Plantar Fasciitis • Muscle Strains • And Many More
• Tendonitis • Knee Pain
Exercise Essentials Try these simple exercises to relieve shoulder pain...
