What is the role of physical therapy in treating arthritis pain?

Arthritis is a more complicated challenge than many realize, if only because the term describes any condition that causes chronic joint pain and inflammation. There are usually two types of arthritis that people typically suffer from, such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. While osteoarthritis typically develops as the joints undergo a lifetime of wear and tear, it can also occur more quickly in joints that receive lots of punishment through repetitive motion (such as the knees and ankles of runners or the shoulders and elbows of baseball pitchers). Different arthritis can attack different population segments, from children to the elderly. Physical therapy is considered one of the most effective treatments for treating arthritis. A trained and experienced physical therapist will get to know your arthritis in as much detail as possible before recommending a physical therapy program. Once we understand the underlying cause of your arthritis and exactly how that arthritis is affecting your quality of life, our physical therapist can devise a personalized treatment regimen which may include soft tissue therapies, exercise, diet and lifestyle changes, etc.
