Systemic therapy is required to control the inflammation that might result in joint damage or destruction if joint pain is brought on by an inflammatory condition such as rheumatoid arthritis or juvenile idiopathic arthritis. You may do numerous things on your own or ask your physical therapist at Metropolitan Physical Therapy, LLC, to receive relief from pain flares, persistent pain, or pain from other causes.
Splints, therapeutic exercises, or less formal everyday changes at home and elsewhere are just a few examples of possible solutions. Here are some ideas for joint pain relief in Erie.
Neck Pain
It may be challenging to glance up or move your head sideways if you have neck pain. Rotating your shoulders or entire body to prevent twisting your neck may cause pain in the surrounding muscles and joints. To aid with muscular relaxation, apply moist heat to the area. To help with neck pain, sleep with a cervical pillow or no pillows. To avoid loss of mobility and lessen discomfort, perform gradual range-of-motion exercises.
Knee Pain
You could walk with a limp and find it challenging to stoop or climb stairs if pain and stiffness make it hard to straighten your knee. You should sit with your knee straight and your heel up if you have knee discomfort. When walking, especially on uneven surfaces or when climbing stairs, use a cane in the hand that is not the injured knee. You can partner with a physical therapist to build your quadriceps muscles for knee stability and joint pain relief in Erie.
