Swollen Joints and Muscles

We understand that swollen joints and muscles can lead to discomfort and impact your daily activities. Our dedicated team is here to help you identify the underlying causes and provide effective treatment strategies to alleviate your symptoms.

Understanding Swelling

Swelling, or edema, occurs when excess fluid accumulates in the tissues of the body, particularly in the joints or muscles. This can be a result of injury, inflammation, or underlying medical conditions.

Common Causes of Swelling

Swelling can arise from various factors, including:

  • Injury: Sprains, strains, or fractures can lead to localized swelling as part of the body’s inflammatory response.
  • Arthritis: Conditions like osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis can cause chronic inflammation and swelling in the joints.
  • Infection: Infections in the joints or surrounding tissues can lead to swelling and redness.
  • Fluid Retention: Conditions such as heart, kidney, or liver disease can cause generalized swelling.
  • Allergic Reactions: Allergies can trigger swelling in response to certain substances.

Symptoms of Swollen Joints and Muscles

Common symptoms associated with swelling may include:

  • Visible swelling in affected areas
  • Pain or tenderness in the swollen joints or muscles
  • Stiffness or reduced range of motion
  • Warmth or redness in the swollen areas
  • Fatigue or discomfort during activities

Comprehensive Assessment

To effectively address swelling, we begin with a thorough assessment that may include:

  • Medical History Review: Discussing your symptoms, medical conditions, and any recent injuries.
  • Physical Examination: Evaluating the affected areas for swelling, tenderness, and range of motion.
  • Functional Assessment: Observing how swelling affects your daily activities and mobility.

Treatment Options

At Bayly Physio & Rehab, we offer a variety of strategies to help manage swollen joints and muscles:

For mild to moderate swelling, we may recommend:

  • Rest and Activity Modification: Allowing the affected areas time to heal and avoiding activities that exacerbate swelling.

  • Elevation: Keeping the swollen area elevated can help decrease fluid accumulation.

  • Gentle Exercises: Focused on improving mobility and strength without aggravating swelling.
