One common condition treated by our physical therapists is arthritis which is a chronic inflammatory ailment affecting joints that can impede mobility and diminish quality of life. Physical therapy serves as a crucial component in managing arthritis symptoms, focusing on pain relief, joint mobility, and functional restoration. Our therapists utilize a multifaceted approach, incorporating modalities like heat/cold therapy, manual techniques, and therapeutic exercises to alleviate pain, improve joint flexibility, and enhance muscle strength. Additionally, we educate patients on joint protection techniques and adaptive strategies to minimize discomfort during daily activities. By empowering individuals with the tools and knowledge to manage their arthritis effectively, physical therapy promotes independence and enhances overall well-being.
