Arthritis

We understand that arthritis can significantly affect your daily life and overall well-being. Our dedicated team is committed to providing comprehensive care to help you manage your symptoms, improve your mobility, and enhance your quality of life.

Understanding Arthritis

Arthritis is an umbrella term for over 100 different types of joint disorders characterized by inflammation, pain, and stiffness in the joints. It can affect individuals of all ages and backgrounds, making daily activities challenging. The two most common types are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most prevalent form of arthritis, often referred to as “wear and tear” arthritis. It occurs when the cartilage that cushions the ends of bones gradually deteriorates, leading to pain, swelling, and reduced joint flexibility. Commonly affected joints include the knees, hips, hands, and spine.

Rheumatoid Arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disorder where the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks the synovium, the lining of the joints. This leads to inflammation, pain, and potential joint damage. RA can affect multiple joints and often comes with systemic symptoms, including fatigue and fever.

Symptoms of Arthritis

While symptoms can vary based on the type of arthritis, common signs include:

  • Joint pain and tenderness
  • Swelling and inflammation
  • Stiffness, especially in the morning or after sitting for extended periods
  • Reduced range of motion
  • Fatigue and general malaise

Treatment Options

At Bayly Physio & Rehab, we offer a range of treatment options to help manage arthritis symptoms effectively. Our goal is to develop a personalized plan that addresses your specific needs and lifestyle.

Physical Therapy

Physical therapy plays a crucial role in managing arthritis. Our licensed physiotherapists work with you to:

  • Improve Mobility: Through targeted exercises and stretches, we help restore your range of motion and enhance joint function.
  • Strengthen Muscles: Strengthening the muscles around affected joints can help alleviate pressure and support better joint function.
  • Develop an Exercise Program: We create a tailored exercise program that focuses on low-impact activities, helping you stay active while minimizing stress on your joints.

Pain Management

Managing pain is a key component of arthritis care. Our team offers various pain relief strategies, including:

  • Therapeutic Modalities: Techniques such as heat and cold therapy, ultrasound, and electrical stimulation can provide relief and reduce inflammation.
  • Medication Guidance: We provide advice on over-the-counter and prescription medications that can help manage your symptoms, in collaboration with your healthcare provider.

Lifestyle Modifications

Making certain lifestyle changes can have a significant impact on arthritis management. We provide guidance on:

  • Weight Management: Maintaining a healthy weight can reduce the strain on your joints, particularly in weight-bearing areas like the knees and hips.
  • Nutrition: A balanced diet rich in anti-inflammatory foods can help support overall joint health. We offer advice on incorporating foods like fatty fish, nuts, fruits, and vegetables into your diet.
  • Activity Modifications: Learning how to modify daily activities to reduce joint stress can help you stay active and engaged.

Advanced Treatment Options

In some cases, additional treatments may be necessary to manage arthritis effectively:

  • Injections: Corticosteroid injections can provide temporary relief from inflammation and pain in affected joints.
  • Joint Replacement Surgery: For severe cases where conservative treatments are ineffective, joint replacement surgery may be considered to restore function and relieve pain.
