ARTHRITIC PAIN?
Understanding Arthritis Pain Arthritis is a term used to describe inflammation of the joints. Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis and usually is caused by the deterioration of a joint. Typically, the weight- bearing joints are affected, with the knee and the hip being the most common. Osteoarthritis is the most common chronic condition that affects the joints, daily activity, and is one of the leading causes of disability in the US adult population. Almost 30 million adults in the United States struggle with the condition. While it can influence anyone of any age, it most frequently develops among overweight/obese and those over the age of 50. Arthritis occurs when there is a breakdown of the cartilage that covers the ends of the bones. This cartilage allows the joints in the elbows, ankles, knees, and hips to move with freedom. As the joint breaks down, the bones are no longer protected and begin to rub against one another, causing extreme pain. Furthermore, the ligaments and tendons around the joint will often stiffen, and the muscles surrounding the joint will weaken, making it altogether more difficult and painful to move. PHYSICAL THERAPY CAN HELP RELIEVE YOUR PAIN!
Are you experiencing pain or stiffness when you move? Do you find it difficult to go about your daily routine? You could be suffering from arthritis. Arthritis doesn’t start suddenly like pain that is the result of an injury. Arthritis typically develops over time due to chronic use or even as a result of genetic disposition. This can make dealing with the pain of arthritis difficult to cope with. While arthritis can be debilitating, there’s a lot that you can do to alleviate the pain and improve your function. With guidance from your physical therapist, you can find solutions to your pain and improve your joint movement, muscle strength, balance, and coordination to get back to living the life you enjoy!

2 3 Strengthen the Muscles that Support an Arthritic Joint — You can decrease the stress impacting a joint by strengthening the surrounding muscles that support it. A skilled physical therapist can identify areas of weakness and teach you how to address them to help you improve strength and stability in your joints. Improve Balance — Individuals with osteoarthritis often have impaired balance resulting from muscle weakness and decreased joint function. Physical therapists incorporate balance training into your treatment plan to improve your balance and reduce your risk of falling. 1 2 http://1sudoku.com In many cases, physical therapy can help patients choose specific exercises and design appropriate strengthening exercises that improve their function without aggravating their pain.

Working with a physical therapist is the best way to ensure that you practice the best techniques for overcoming your arthritic discomfort and loss of function. Your physical therapist will assess your particular condition to identify the contributing factors and address all of them. Your therapist will create individualized exercise programs to reduce your pain, prevent the condition from worsening, and improve daily function. A typical program will consist of the following: Maintain or Increase Joint Range of Motion — Physical therapy can improve your ability to bend and straighten a joint. Even incremental improvements in a joint’s range of motion can make a significant difference in joint function.
