Arthritis
Arthritis is a common disorder that affects your joints. It can cause pain and inflammation, making it difficult to move or stay active. Arthritis usually affects older adults, it can develop in men, women and children of any age. There are many different types of arthritis, but the most common ones include osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriatic arthritis.
Symptoms of arthritis include:
Pain: Joint pain is the most common symptom of arthritis. The pain may be constant or intermittent and can range from mild to severe.
Stiffness: Joints affected by arthritis may feel stiff and difficult to move, especially in the morning or after periods of inactivity.
Swelling: Inflammation in the joints can cause swelling, which may make the joint appear larger than normal.
Redness and warmth: Arthritic joints may feel warm to the touch and appear red due to inflammation.
Reduced range of motion: As arthritis progresses, it can limit the range of motion in affected joints, making it difficult to perform daily activities.
Fatigue: Many people with arthritis experience fatigue, which may be caused by the inflammation and associated pain.
Deformities: Over time, arthritis can cause joint deformities such as knobby finger joints and bunions.
Treatment options for arthritis include:
Medications: Over-the-counter or prescription medications, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), corticosteroids, and disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), can help manage pain and inflammation in arthritic joints.
Lifestyle changes: Maintaining a healthy weight, eating a nutritious diet, and getting regular exercise can help manage symptoms of arthritis and improve overall health.
Surgery: In severe cases, surgery may be necessary to replace or repair damaged joints.
Alternative therapies: Some people with arthritis find relief from alternative therapies such as acupuncture, massage, or herbal supplements. However, it’s important to speak with a healthcare professional before trying any alternative therapies.
Assistive devices: Devices such as canes, walkers, or handrails can help reduce stress on affected joints and make daily activities easier.
Physical therapy: This involves exercises and stretches to improve joint flexibility, strength, and range of motion.
Class 4 LASER THERAPY: It is a type of medical treatment that uses high-powered lasers to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation and promote tissue healing. It penetrates deeper into the body tissues than other classes of lasers and can be used to treat various conditions such as musculoskeletal injuries, arthritis, and neuropathic pain.
Class 4 LASER THERAPY for Arthritis:
Class iv LASER THERAPY for arthritis involves using high-powered lasers to penetrate deep into the tissues of the affected joint. The laser energy can stimulate cellular activity in the tissues, promoting healing and reducing inflammation.
Arthritis can be effectively treated with our class iv high power laser therapy machine. It works by stimulating cellular activity in the affected joint, leading to reduced inflammation, increased blood flow, and improved tissue repair. It can be used alone or in combination with other treatments, such as medications or physical therapy, to provide comprehensive care for arthritis.
