Arthritis Rehabilitation: Optimize Health & Give Active Life Back

It is estimated that more than 350 million people have arthritis globally. Although arthritis prevalence increases with age, many young people in their teens, 20s, and 30s can still suffer from the condition, especially those insufficiently active.

The focus of our solution to arthritis rehabilitation is on relieving pain and increasing the range of motion in the affected joints, ultimately helping patients return to the highest level of function and improve their overall quality of life.

 

What is Arthritis?

Arthritis is the inflammation or swelling of one or more joints, such as the knees, wrists, or ankles. It causes joint pain and stiffness which reduce people’s mobility, significantly impacting quality of life and negatively affecting people’s physical and psychological health as well.

Arthritis is often mistakenly associated with old age. In fact, arthritis and other rheumatic disease affect people of all ages and are more common in women than in men.

 

Common Conditions of Arthritis

  • Rheumatoid Arthritis
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Lyme Disease
  • Gouty Arthritis
  • Fibromyalgia

 

Symptoms of Arthritis

  • Pain and stiffness in the joints
  • Swelling in one or more joints
  • Continuing or recurring pain or tenderness in a joint
  • Difficulty using or moving a joint in a normal manner
  • Warmth and redness in a joint

 

Rehabilitation Solution for Arthritis

Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT)

Treatments for arthritis include medication, exercise therapy, physical therapy, and surgery. Among the treatments that focus on reducing pain and improving function, extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) has recently drawn great attention.

Extracorporeal shock waves can spread into tissues around painful regions, thereby increasing mitochondrial oxidation and the photochemistry effect that facilitates adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production, resulting in the expansion of blood vessels and lymphatic vessels. This will reduce pain due to the rapid removal of exudate and re-absorption of the unnecessary liquids that are accumulated in the human body by facilitating blood circulation and increases in metabolism

ESWT is widely applied to patients with various musculoskeletal diseases. It is an effective treatment for reducing patients’ pain and improving their musculoskeletal function.

Exercise Treatment – Biking

Stationary biking is an ideal low-impact exercise for people with arthritis. It is also safe and convenient.

Biking gets the affected legs moving through their range of motion, which encourages the production of synovial fluid. The fluid can lubricate the joint. Biking also builds muscles in the core and legs. When muscles get stronger, they better support the joints and relieve some of the pressure.

Intermittent Pneumatic Compression Therapy (IPC)

IPC is a treatment that involves the use of compression to encourage blood flow and reduce swelling. The treatment works by wearing a compression garment that applies pressure. The pressure is generally graduated, meaning that it starts tighter at the distal point and slowly loosens as the garment comes closer to the body. The graduated compression can encourage blood circulation.

It is a standard treatment for arthritis pain relief and swelling reduction.

Electrostatic Oscillation Therapy

Electrostatic oscillation is an innovative non-invasive method that achieves many therapeutic effects including accelerating wound healing and the regeneration of soft tissues by creating an electrostatic field. 

It is easy to use with the vinyl-gloved hands or applicators moving over the tissue to achieve therapeutic effects. The main symptoms of arthritis include pain and stiffness in joints. And electrostatic oscillation therapy is proven to help with pain and inflammation.
