Treatment for Arthritis

Outpatient Medical Rehab Services can help people who deal with symptoms and limitations resulting from arthritis.

The National Institute of Arthritis reports that "studies have shown that exercise helps people with arthritis in many ways. Exercise reduces joint pain and stiffness and increases flexibility, muscle strength, and endurance. It also helps with weight reduction and contributes to an improved sense of well-being."

Outpatient Medical Rehab Services offers:

  • Physical therapists who have extensive experience treating clients with arthritis
  • Pain relief methods including electric stimulation and ultrasound
  • Warm water therapy pool
  • Education in the proper use of pain relief methods at home including moist heat, ice, and paraffin
  • Education in body mechanics to lessen stress on painful areas
  • Complete exercise gym
  • Home exercises to improve flexibility and strength
  • Massage therapist on site
