Arthritis Treatment and Management at Health Plus PT

At Health Plus Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation Center, we know arthritis is one of the most common conditions we treat. With expert techniques and personalized care, our team helps patients manage arthritis symptoms and improve their quality of life.

Understanding Arthritis

Arthritis affects more than 50 million Americans, making it the leading cause of disability in the United States. That equals 1 in 5 adults and includes over 300,000 children. Millions of families live with arthritis every day. Without early care, these numbers will continue to rise.

The first step to overcoming arthritis is to understand your condition and know that effective treatment is available.

Lifestyle Steps to Manage Arthritis

Making small lifestyle changes can reduce pain, improve mobility, and protect your joints. Below are two key strategies to help manage arthritis effectively.

Maintain a Healthy Weight

Extra weight increases stress on joints. For example, losing just one pound can relieve four pounds of pressure from the knees. This simple change improves mobility, reduces pain, and protects joints over time.

Exercise Regularly

Exercise is one of the most effective ways to manage arthritis, especially osteoarthritis. Low-impact activities such as walking, swimming, cycling, yoga, and stretching are excellent choices.

Each of these activities helps in different ways. They reduce pain and stiffness, improve flexibility, and strengthen joints. They also make daily activities easier, slow disease progression, and build muscle support around the joints. In addition, exercise releases natural brain chemicals that lift mood and reduce pain.
