RELIEVING YOUR HIP, KNEE AND LEG PAIN YOU DON’ T NEED TO SUFFER ANY LONGER
Your hip, knee and lower leg are tough—but injuries happen. Your hips and knees are your largest joints, supporting your body’s weight. They work in close coordination, giving us the mobility we need. Between arthritis, injuries and age, however,
pain can flare up. (continued inside)

joints, the condition may be severe. What Are the Symptoms?
Hip, knee and leg pain are surprisingly common. Thus, their source can come from a variety of things. If you’re experiencing pain in any part of your leg, pinpointing the exact spot can help you determine the cause. Mayo Clinic has pinpointed several leading causes of hip, knee and leg pain. While many causes exist, the most likely are:
While leg pain is noticeable by a slew of symptoms, several stick out. Aching or stiffness around the hip, groin, back or thigh may be a sign of deeper problems. A decreased range of motion, too, is a sign of deeper problems which may later result in hip, knee or leg pain. Sometimes, inactivity can contribute to immobility—and later pain. If you’re limping, lurching or are experiencing bad balance, contact a physician. While some hip, knee and leg pains go away, those lasting longer than several months may be hinting at a deeper issue. If you are suffering with hip, knee or leg pain, call us today to learn how we can eliminate your pain and put a spring back in your step!
• Arthritis • Dislocation • Hip fracture • Sprains and strains
• Tendonitis • Pinched nerves • Osteoporosis • Cancer
While some causes are more severe than others, a physician can identify each. As the body ages, joints can become inflamed. Cartilage may wear down, reducing the “buffer” between bones.

ALTER-G TREADMILL
Does Arthritis Pain Grind You Down?
Does your foot, ankle, hip, or knee pain make running or moving an uncomfortable feat? Do you suffer from arthritis that hinders your day-to-day physical abilities? These common conditions that can be extremely uncomfortable, making you feel limited in your mobility. Pain can be inconvenient and isolating, making many people feel as if they are unable to do the activities they used to love. Fortunately,
at Shoreline PT, we have the experience, methods, and tools you need to relieve your pain and reclaim your mobility. If your arthritic pains are slowing you down, you may benefit from our AlterG Treadmill treatments – the only anti-gravity treadmill. What is the AlterG Treadmill? The term “anti-gravity” admittedly makes it sound like a contraption from a science-fiction universe. In reality, this treadmill was created using advanced contemporary science and technology. The Differential Air Pressure (DAP) technology has been patented by NASA, allowing for a precise calibration of air pressure. The pressurized mechanics of the treadmill act to “unweight” the patient while the machine is in use. By doing so, the patient is able to use the treadmill by seemingly “floating” above it – allowing them to complete their exercise treatments without the harsh foot-to-treadmill impact you get with normal gravity. How will AlterG benefit me? This device will reduce the impact of your body weight by up to 80% while in use. It is a form of treatment that can be beneficial to anyone, especially those with joint and inflammatory pains caused by arthritis. It provides some much-needed relief that most other treatments simply are not able to do, creating a pain-free environment where you can achieve your goals and get back to doing the activities you love. By releasing the gravitational pressure of your body, the AlterG Treadmill is able to help you comfortably restore your normal walking, jogging, running, and moving mechanics. It also promotes strengthening exercises that can heal any tissues or cartilage that have been damaged by arthritis, in addition to building more muscle. All of this adds up to a much safer, quicker, and comfortable recovery than you may experience without it. Arthritic patients are prime candidates for the AlterG Treadmill, because the unweighted technology relieves pressure on the joints, making the exercise experience much more comfortable and pleasant. Patients wear specially fit shorts that enclose their lower body into the pressurized chamber. By safely securing patients, they are able to use the weight-bearing treadmill freely, without pressure on their legs or the fear of falling off of it. Other conditions that have shown improvement through the AlterG Treadmill include tendinitis, obesity, osteoporosis, plantar fasciitis, shin splints, spine fusions, stress fractures, neurological disorders, complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD), and total joint replacement. The AlterG technology provides a controlled environment for patients to exercise and heal. This allows them to regain functionality and return to their normal activities much faster than they may have anticipated. By getting back into physical activity as quickly as possible, patients are able to avoid unwanted risks, such as swelling and inflammation, weakened muscles, stiffness, or even atrophy. If your arthritis is stopping you from living your best quality of life, contact Shoreline PT today to schedule a consultation with one of our dedicated physical therapists. The AlterG Treadmill could be the ideal treatment for you!
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, swimming or our AlterG Treadmill. 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!

“Not only did these guys keep me physically stable and progressing, they were there during the hard times...” “After hip surgery, I was thinking I’d be up and around in a week. Not only did these guys keep me physically stable and progressing, they were there during the hard times when my emotional stress was weighing me down as well. One of the hardest parts of leaving the area, was leaving this team.” - Dina G.
