Are you Struggling with Arthritis? Let Us Help You Find Relief.

Living with arthritis can be overwhelming. The constant joint pain, stiffness, and swelling can make even the simplest tasks feel difficult and frustrating. At First Settlement Physical Therapy, we understand how arthritis can affect your day-to-day life, and we’re here to help! Whether you’re dealing with the aching of osteoarthritis or the unpredictable flare-ups of rheumatoid arthritis, our specialized therapy team is here to help you reclaim your life

Types of Arthritis

Arthritis comes in many forms. The two of the most common types are:

Osteoarthritis (OA): This occurs when the cushioning cartilage between your joints wears down over time. As a result, your bones begin to rub against each other, causing pain, swelling, and limited mobility. OA often develops slowly but can severely impact your ability to move comfortably.
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA): Unlike OA, RA is an autoimmune condition, meaning your body’s immune system mistakenly attacks your joints. This causes inflammation, swelling, and damage that can worsen if left untreated.

How Arthritis Is Treated?

You don’t have to face arthritis alone. With our tailored physical and occupational therapy programs, you can manage your pain, regain mobility, and get back to doing what you love. Our team is committed to helping you live more comfortably, whether that means easing pain in your daily activities, increasing your strength, or simply making movement less of a struggle. Here’s how we approach arthritis care:

Aquatic Therapy for Arthritis

Our warm water pools are kept at a comfortable 92 degrees, the ideal temperature to help stiff joints relax and soothe sore muscles. The warm water helps increase blood flow and reduce pain making it beneficial for those with arthritis. The buoyancy of the water takes pressure off your joints and allows you to perform exercises that build strength, improve flexibility, improve balance.

Don’t let arthritis hold you back any longer. Schedule a consultation with our team today, and let’s develop a personalized treatment plan that helps you move more freely, live more comfortably, and feel like yourself again.
