| Arthritis | ||
| By far the most common
form of Arthritis is Osteoarthritis. This common condition is caused
by degeneration of the cartilage covering joint surfaces. This degenerative
wear and tear can result in flaking of cartilage into the joint and
can eventually lead to exposed bone rubbing on bone. This results
in affected joints becoming painful, stiff and weak. Osteo-arthritis
can afflict any joint but most often occurs in joints of the knees,
hips, spine and hands. Active Body Clinic’s unique approach
to Osteoarthritis includes the use of: • Specific exercise to help reduce joint pain, improve function and increase strength which will prevent further damage • Heat and cold for pain management and inflammation control • Education regarding energy and joint conservation techniques to maintain current function. • Acupuncture for pain relief |
