nagging aches or pains you may be experiencing. Why do you ache in the morning?

If an area of your body, such as your back, is overworked, tissues get irritated in the day and build up a chronic layer of inflammation. This may be subtle enough where you don’t notice it too much at the end of the day. However, overnight the inflammation thickens and makes your tissues inelastic, while also irritating the affected area further. The result is aching stiff joints or muscles in the morning, until you get moving. Then the inflammation becomes more liquid like, allowing the tissues to move better, thus hurting less.

Patient Spotlight

Mrs. Relaford had difficulties with walking, driving, going up and down stairs and usual household activities. Today she can drive herself and walk without assistance and is able to climb stairs. Check out her Improvement Report below. “Before my total knee replacement, I was very limited in my activities. Coming to therapy 3 days a week here has helped me tremendously. The staff is so helpful and considerate, yet urging you on to achieve higher goals. I can bend my knee without having to stop and rest. I’m able to walk without pain. I can push or pull heavy loads now, due to therapy. This is a wonderful place to recoup. I will be back (if needed) and certainly recommend Lonoke Physical Therapy to everyone I meet.” - Mrs. R “This is a wonderful place to recoup.
