Causes of joint pain
- Rheumatoid arthritis: An autoimmune disease that causes the body to attack the joints, leading to inflammation and swelling.
- Natural wear and tear with age: Joint pain increases due to the wear and tear of cartilage.
- Sports injuries: Which can cause tendon tears or damage to cartilage.
Symptoms of joint pain
- Swelling and stiffness in the affected joint: which can affect the movement of the joint and cause pain when touched.
- Acute or chronic pain: The affected person may feel constant pain that increases with movement or activity.
Integrated physical therapy plan
We offer physical therapy sessions to relieve joint pain through:
- Heat and cold therapy: To relieve pain and swelling, heat and cold therapy are applied alternately to improve blood circulation in the affected joint area.
- Exercises to strengthen the surrounding muscles: We offer you specific exercises that work to strengthen the muscles surrounding the joint to enhance its stability and reduce the load on it.
- Deep massage: This type of massage is useful in cases where the muscles are damaged as a result of injuries, and can be applied by practicing slower and stronger hand strokes to target the deep layers of muscles and connective tissue. In massage therapy, the massage therapist massages and presses on the soft tissues in your body. Soft tissues include muscles, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments, and skin. The massage therapist uses varying degrees of pressure and movements.
Massage therapy falls within the framework of integrative medicine. It is often offered by medical centers in conjunction with conventional treatment. It can be used with a wide range of medical conditions.
