Arthritis Care Recovery
Pain relief, joint preservation, and mobility enhancement for osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
Condition Overview
Arthritis is the swelling and tenderness of one or more joints. The main symptoms of arthritis are joint pain and stiffness, which typically worsen with age. The most common types are osteoarthritis (wear and tear of cartilage) and rheumatoid arthritis (an autoimmune condition). Physical therapy is essential to keep joints moving and pain-free.
Why It Happens
Cartilage is a slick, tough tissue that covers the ends of your bones where they form a joint. Cartilage allows bones to glide smoothly over each other and absorbs shock. In osteoarthritis, this cartilage breaks down, leading to bone-on-bone friction, inflammation, and bone spur formation.
Common Symptoms
- Joint pain, stiffness, and swelling, especially in the morning
- Decreased range of motion or joint locking
- Grating sensation when the joint moves
- Warmth or redness around the joint area
Root Causes
- Age-related wear and tear of joint cartilage (osteoarthritis)
- Autoimmune attack on the joint lining (rheumatoid arthritis)
- Previous joint injuries predisposing to early arthritis
- Excess weight putting heavy loads on weight-bearing joints
Our Treatment Process
Holistic rehab integrated with yoga therapy
Gentle, low-impact joint mobilization to maintain flexibility
Strengthening of muscles surrounding the affected joint to unload the joint surfaces
Hydrotherapy-style movement advice and warm compress treatments
Tailored, gentle yoga routines to improve joint lubrication
Expected Outcomes
While arthritis cannot be cured, patients report a 50% to 75% improvement in daily pain levels and joint flexibility, allowing them to resume hobbies and active living.
Key Benefits of Our Treatment
Frequently Asked Questions
Does exercise make arthritis worse?
No. Safe, low-impact exercise actually reduces arthritis pain and stiffness by strengthening the surrounding support muscles and stimulating the production of lubricating synovial fluid.
