Can Physiotherapy help with arthritis?
Do you have pain in your hips, knees, back, or hands? Or have you ever been told that you have arthritis? Do you feel achy in the morning or become more sore with activity? Have you been told that your pain is due to arthritis and that all you can do is take medication?
Arthritis occurs when joints slowly start to break down with wear and tear. This break down causes the stiffness, swelling, and pain associated with arthritis.
Although we cannot change the arthritis, physical therapy can help to help manage and control the symptoms of arthritis. By working on symptom management strategies, as well as progressive strengthening and stretching, we can minimize the impact of arthritis on your daily life.
At MOMENTUM Physical Therapy in Okotoks, we deal with arthritic joints daily. By thoroughly examining the arthritic joint, we can develop an action plan that includes hands on therapy and home exercises to minimize the effects of arthritis on your life.
If you are dealing with any form of arthritis, call MOMENTUM Physical Therapy in Okotoks today to find out how we can help you get ahead of your arthritic pain. 403-982-5600
