Arthritis is a common yet challenging condition that affects millions of people, causing pain, stiffness, and decreased mobility. If you’re struggling with arthritis, orthopedic physical therapy can be an effective solution to help manage symptoms and improve your quality of life.
At Trinity Rehab, our personalized approach to orthopedic physical therapy helps you regain the freedom to move without pain.
What Is Orthopedic Physical Therapy for Arthritis?
Orthopedic physical therapy focuses on treating the musculoskeletal system, which includes the bones, joints, ligaments, muscles, and tendons. For arthritis patients, this therapy is essential in reducing joint pain, improving flexibility, and strengthening the muscles around the joints.
Our highly trained physical therapists use a combination of manual therapy, targeted exercises, and innovative technologies to develop a customized treatment plan that helps you manage arthritis pain and restore function.
Types of Arthritis Treated with Physical Therapy
There are many types of arthritis, but the most common forms are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis occurs when the cartilage that cushions the ends of your bones wears down over time, leading to joint pain and stiffness. Osteoarthritis often affects the knees, hips, hands, and spine.
Rheumatoid Arthritis
This autoimmune disorder causes joint inflammation, leading to pain, swelling, and potential joint damage. Rheumatoid arthritis can affect any joint in the body and often causes fatigue and muscle weakness.
Regardless of the type of arthritis you have, our physical therapists will create a personalized plan to address your specific condition.
How Trinity Rehab Helps with Arthritis Pain Relief
At Trinity Rehab, we believe that no two patients are the same, and neither are their treatments. Our comprehensive approach to orthopedic physical therapy ensures that every arthritis patient receives a customized treatment plan designed to provide long-lasting relief. Here’s how we help:
Pain Management
Our therapists use hands-on techniques, such as manual therapy, to reduce pain and improve joint function. We offer myofascial release and instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization to target muscle tension and improve mobility.
Advanced Technology
Our locations are equipped with cutting-edge tools like the AlterG® Anti-Gravity Treadmill®, which allows patients to perform low-impact exercises that reduce joint strain while improving strength and endurance. Additionally, our proprietary EPAT® system offers non-invasive pain relief for arthritis through targeted pulse therapy.
Strengthening Exercises
Strengthening the muscles around the affected joints is a key component of arthritis treatment. We’ll guide you through exercises that build strength and support your joints, leading to less pain and more stability.
Range of Motion Work
Arthritis can limit your ability to move freely, but our therapists will help improve your joint flexibility and range of motion through targeted stretches and exercises.
