 The Effects Of OsteoarthritisThe
most common form of arthritis is osteoarthritis (OA). This
affects over 27 million Americans and will continue to grow as our
population ages. Osteoarthritis is a common cause of
disability. It is characterized by progressive loss and
degeneration of cartilage, bone sclerosis, and formation of
osteophytes. These changes often lead to pain, loss of mobility
and muscle function, restriction in activities of daily living, and
decreased quality of life.
The cartilage provides the synovial joint fluid that
lubricates the hip and knee. With OA, the cartilage becomes thin
and worn in places, resulting in a loss of lubrication. This
causes stiffness, irritation and pain. The therapists
at Aspen Rehabilitation have special training in manual therapy.
Manual therapy includes manipulation and stretching techniques.
It is particularly aimed at the improvement of elasticity of the joint
capsule and the surrounding muscles.
The goal of Aspen's
customized therapy is to reduce or eliminate pain and improve or
enhance your ability to perform daily tasks safely. The result is
increased mobility and greater productivity in work or life. We
educate you about your condition while increasing your strength and
balance.

Getting The Proper Treatment For Your Arthritis
Physical therapy is a key component for helping to
reduce and even eliminate arthritis pain. Studies have proven
that manual physical therapy combined with exercise based physical
therapy achieves the best outcomes for patients with arthritis.
The experts at Aspen Rehabilitation are manual therapy specialists and
incorporate it into every treatment. Helping your joints to move
properly is key to reducing the rubbing and irritation caused from
arthritis.
Arthritis needs to be managed properly and
rountine visits to your physical therapist can help slow down the
arthritic process and pain. Timing is of the essence and the
longer you leave your arthritis pain, the harder and longer it takes to
recover and resume normal activities. If you have questions about
your arthritis or if someone you know suffers from arthritis, call us
today to discuss your problem with an Aspen Physical Therapist.
