Arthritis Pain

Arthritis is a chronic condition that affects millions of people worldwide. Arthritis pain can significantly reduce mobility and negatively affect a person’s quality of life. However, there are several ways to treat arthritis pain and improve mobility. In this article, we discuss some effective ways to manage arthritis pain and increase joint mobility.

Exercise

Exercise is one of the most effective ways to manage arthritis pain and improve mobility. Low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and cycling are excellent choices for people with arthritis. Stretching and strength training exercises also help to improve muscle strength, flexibility, and reduce joint stiffness.

Pain Institute of Georgia has an excellent physical therapy facility and programs designed for treating arthritis. In addition, there is an indoor pool for Aqua Therapy which has proven successful for arthritis patients. This is one of a few such facilities in the area.

Weight Management

Maintaining a healthy weight can help to relieve arthritis pain and improve mobility. Extra weight puts a strain on the joints, leading to increased pain and stiffness. Losing weight can help to reduce the pressure on the joints, allowing for better mobility and reduced pain.

Physical Therapy

Physical therapy can help to reduce arthritis pain and increase joint mobility. Our physical therapist can create a tailored exercise program that targets specific joints affected by arthritis. They can also teach you proper techniques to exercise safely and avoid exacerbating pain. In addition, our Aqua Therapy program can be greatly beneficial in relieving joint pain.
