I don't believe there are many specialists for this. I work as a soft tissue treatment adviser and this is my take on it. Because your joints are inflamed, your blood flow has been constricted. You want to focus on a form of treatment that will promote circulation to the area (ie. Massage Therapy, ultrasound, BFST, acupuncture, etc.). The increased blood flow will help lubricate the joints, giving you a wider range of motion and less stiffness. I personally recommend the BFST as you can do this in the comfort of your own home, as many times as you'd like. Based on my experience, some arthritic sufferers prefer cold, some prefer heat. Cold is always important to reduce the inflammation, but after a time of cold, you want to start increasing the circulation again. There are so many benefits of increase blood flow.
