When it comes to treating arthritis, you may have more options than you realize. There is much you can do to reduce your aches and pains from arthritis while gaining more mobility and function. We offer consistent recommendations for our patients suffering with the pain and inflammation associated with arthritis. If you want to know how to relieve and reduce the pain of arthritis, try our physical therapy first. Patients often experience pain from arthritis because of stiff joints, muscles, and other tissues. In addition, muscles become weak, therefore not supporting the arthritic joints. The customized treatments at Nestor Physical Therapy promote muscle strength, improve range of motion, increase mobility, and relieve pain.

“I had been diagnosed with lower back arthritis and stenosis with irritation of the sciatic nerve causing left foot & lower leg numbness/tingling. The orthopedic doctor suggested physical therapy. I always return to Nestor Physical Therapy because of Steve’s knowledge to prescribe the right kind of exercises to help with this current problem.
