Three Ways to Treat Arthritis Without Relying on Pain Pills or Endless Doctor Visits
Everyday people are being told by their doctors that they have arthritis and that as a result – should stop performing their favorite activities (or take a boat load of pain pills or start getting injection). Not the most helpful advice. What people aren’t being told is that arthritis is a normal part of the aging process and that there are many natural and safe options to keep you active, strong, and going what you love – regardless of age. In this month’s article we discuss three ways to treat arthritis and get back to doing the things that make you happy.
1) Strength Training
If our bodies are not strong enough to support the activities that we do on a daily basis, more force will end up going through our joints leading to more pain and more arthritis. Adding in strength training to our treatment routine is one of the best ways to get rid of any nagging aches and pains caused by arthritis.
2) Movement Training
Movement patterns are defined as how we coordinate movements to perform basic tasks like sitting, walking, lifting, reach, etc. Improving these patterns is the BEST way to take pressure off your joints as you go about you day. It is also the most commonly left out portion of any treatment plan.
3. Full Body Chiropractic Care and Manual Therapy
There isn’t a better way to treat arthritis and really take control of the amount of pain you experience then by going to see a chiropractor and movement professional. Getting to see a hands-on specialist means you’re going to get fast access to care that will loosen and lubricate stuck and painful joints, relax tight muscles, and strengthen your body so that you can go back to doing the things you love.
At Evolve Performance Healthcare we specialize in keeping adults aged 40+ active and strong so they can continue to do what they love – even when nothing else has worked. Our combination of manual therapy with pain free fitness training has helped 100’s of people get back to doing what they love even when routine chiropractic care or traditional physical therapy has failed.
