RELIEVING LOW BACK, HIP, AND KNEE ARTHRITIS PAIN INSIDE: As we age, the cartilage in our joints wears down, causing painful bone-on-bone rubbing, inflammation, stiffness, and pain. While there is no cure for arthritis yet, it is possible to alleviate arthritic symptoms by improving your joint movement, muscle strength, balance, and coordination. In some cases, it’s even possible to eliminate symptoms entirely. To learn more about how our in-home treatments at Achieva Rehab can improve your arthritis symptoms, contact us today to schedule a consultation. What Exactly Is Arthritis? Before arthritic pains can be relieved, it is important to first understand where they come from. Arthritis—or a painful stiffness and 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, according to the Arthritis Foundation. People of all ages, races, and sex can get it. It’s also the leading cause of ongoing disability in America. The most prevalent form of arthritis is osteoarthritis, which is caused by either injury or gradual wear and tear. What Causes Lower Back, Hip, And Knee Arthritis? Because arthritis is a catch-all term, pinpointing what causes arthritis may be difficult. In most cases, arthritis is caused by overuse, wear and tear, or injuries. • Arthritis and Physical Therapy • Exercise Essentials

Arthritis can also be caused by:
· Infections, such as Lyme disease.
· An immune system dysfunction, such as rheumatoid arthritis.
· An abnormal metabolism, which leads to gout.
For arthritis suffers, even simply walking can cause pain in the lower back, hip, or knee. Arthritis is often a downward spiral of progressive pain, limiting movement and strength, which in turn causes more inactivity and pain. However, by improving joint movement, muscle strength, balance and coordination, this cycle can be broken, thus reducing pain and inflammation. At Achieva Rehab, our in-home services also allow you to combat your arthritic symptoms from the comfort of your own home, without having to venture out to an outpatient clinic.
