Aggravating Arthritis Osteoarthritis
is the most common type of shoulder arthritis. Also called
degenerative joint disease, osteoarthritis is characterized by
progressive wearing away of the cartilage of the joint. As the
protective cartilage surface of the joint is worn away by shoulder
arthritis, bare bone is exposed within the shoulder. Wear and
tear over time leads to bone spurs, poor tissue quality, inflammation,
pain, weakness, and poor shoulder mechanics.
Symptoms tend to
progress as the condition worsens. What is interesting about
shoulder arthritis is that symptoms do not always progress steadily
with time. Often patients report good months and bad months, or
symptom changes associated with weather changes. This is important
to understand because comparing the symptoms of arthritis on one
particular day may not accurately represent the overall progression of
the condition. |

How Physical Therapy Helps
Therapy is extremely
important in helping people recover from the debilitating effects of
arthritis. Physical therapy emphasizes stretching and
strengthening of the muscles around the shoulder joint to help decrease
the burden on the shoulder. Preventing atrophy of the muscles is
an important part of maintaining functional use of the shoulder.
The therapists at Aspen Rehabilitation will
help you regain lost motion, strength, and coordination. Our
hands-on treatment can relieve stiffness from poor joint movement,
decrease the amount of inflammation, and increase your ability to do
normal activities with less pain. |
