Does Arthritis Pain Grind You Down?
Millions of Americans suffer from arthritis pain every day, taking Ibuprofen and stronger medications 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. 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 or swimming. 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 from arthritis pain, call us today and discover how we can relieve your pain, returning you to a more active, pain-free lifestyle!
Positive Patient Results
“I have been going to Fit Physical Therapy after having total knee replacement surgery. I would highly recommend Fit Physical Therapy to anyone seeking for a physical therapist. My physical therapist there is Roger Harward. He is the BEST! Roger will not force you beyond what you can do, but he helps and encourages you to achieve the best result possible. Roger inspires you to want to do your best. I also think the rest of the employees at Fit are awesome! You are greeted by name and made to feel welcome at every appointment. The staff are professional, friendly, supportive, and encouraging. Physical therapy is not easy or comfortable, but Fit Physical Therapy provides a warm, friendly environment. You have an opportunity to get to know the staff, as well as other patients. I really enjoy going to physical therapy. Not only am I seeing improvement after almost every appointment, so I have a sense of accomplishment; but, I also leave with my spirits high from the encouragement and support I have received from both staff and other patients. Fit is simply the BEST!” - V.S.
