How Arthritis Management Works
Arthritis means inflammation in one or more joints, the places where your bones meet and glide past each other. Healthy joints have smooth cartilage that cushions the bones. When the condition develops, the cushioning thins or the joint lining swells, and movement gets stiff and sore. More than 100 types of arthritis exist, and osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis rank among the most common. Wear and tear, immune system problems, and past injuries commonly start the process.
Effective care starts with the underlying cause, so it needs to reach beyond the sore joint. Symptom management alone isn't enough, since stiff joints strain the muscles and posture around them. At Optima Health and Vitality Center, our skilled team builds one cohesive plan around your joints, your routine, and your goals, and the TENS equipment we use provides steady pain relief along the way. This approach aims for long-term comfort and movement, not a short break from discomfort.
