WATCH YOUR ARTHRITIS PAINWILT AWAY

Asweallage,ourbodiesexperienceacertain “wearand tear”oncartilageand joints.This can cause inflammation and pain, known as arthritis. According to the Arthritis Foundation, Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis, making itself apparent in people as they age. It can certainly take a toll on one’s body, resulting in achy or painful joints after exercise, after a long day on one’s feet, or even after prolonged periods of inactivity, thus causing joints to constrict. The most common areas of Osteoarthritis are found in the fingers, hips, knees, and spine. These are all joints that we use excessively, even in our daily lives. Just think - by the time you lift yourself out of bed, shower, brush your teeth,eatbreakfast,andprepare tobeginyourday,you’vealreadyused these joints a multitude of times. Therefore, it isn’t surprising that pain can occur inthemovertime. IfyoubelieveyoumaybeexperiencingOsteoarthritis, give one of our physiotherapists a call today to discuss pain relief. Why do we experience Osteoarthritis? While it is true that Osteoarthritis is most common in older folks, that is not always necessarily the case. It is

possible that Osteoarthritis can present itself in younger adults, especially if they are prone to weak joints, poor dieting, or if they aren’t very active. Your cartilage works hard to protect your joints by absorbing the natural shocks that your body experiences on a daily basis. Therefore, much of your likelihood regarding Osteoarthritis is dependent upon the physical and nutritional lifestylesyoupartake in.Jointalignmentcanalterand themuscles around a joint can weaken over time, causing the cartilage to shift or thin. As cartilage wears down, Osteoarthritis becomes much more common. AsOsteoarthritisprogresses,moresymptomscanarise.Themostcommon symptoms are: • Joint pain. • Swelling or tenderness in or around the joint(s). • Inflammation or flare-ups of pain in the joint(s) after use. • Feeling stiff after sitting or laying down for prolonged periods of time, especially when getting up in the morning. •Crepitus -also referred toasa “crackingorcrunching” feelingwhenmoving the joint(s), or the sound of bone rubbing on bone.

HOWCAN PHYSIOTHERAPY HELP OSTEOARTHRITIS?

According to the OccupationalTherapy Association, 1 in 5 adults are diagnosed with arthritis annually. Physical and occupational therapy are the most common treatments for Osteoarthritis, usually helping with the relief of joint pain in just a few sessions. If you have arthritis, don’t fret - there is hope! While anti-inflammatory and pain medications will help for the time being, they are very much a short-term solution. Physiotherapy can help in actually strengthening your joints and muscles once again, allowing for a much healthier and long-term pain relief solution. Occupational therapy will also help in learning to use your joints in new ways once again, allowing for the highest quality of life despite the severity of your arthritis. Our physiotherapists are trained to help you with joint alignment, stability, muscle regeneration, and most importantly, pain relief. They are dedicated to helping you get back to your normal levels of mobility. Don’t settle for a life of aches and pains - physiotherapy can get you back on your feet and doing the activities you used to love! If you are suffering from Osteoarthritis, give us a call today - we can get you back to living your best, most pain-free life.

When sustaining an injury, it can sometimes be difficult to determine if it is a sprain or a strain. While they may seem similar, the distinctions are actually easier to make than you may think. In order to know the differences between a sprain and a strain, you must first know the differences between a tendon and a ligament. Your bones are connected to oneanotherby ligaments.Whena ligament isstretchedbeyond its limits,asprain can occur. Once the ligament is stretched, it is more likely that the affected area will be sprained again in the future. Your physiotherapist can diagnose a muscle strain and help you recover it.
