ARTHRITIS TREATMENT OPTIONS: RELIEF FOR YOUR PAIN IN APPLETON
Arthritis affects millions of people worldwide, causing pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. While there’s no cure, effective treatment options can significantly manage symptoms and improve quality of life. At our clinic in Appleton, we offer both physical therapy and chiropractic care, providing evidence-based treatments tailored to help you manage arthritis pain.
TYPES OF ARTHRITIS
Arthritis falls into two broad categories:
1. OSTEOARTHRITIS: The most common form of arthritis, caused by wear and tear on joints over time.
2. INFLAMMATORY ARTHRITIS: A group of autoimmune conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis, that result in joint inflammation and damage.
OSTEOARTHRITIS
The most common types of osteoarthritis we treat include:
- Knee arthritis
- Hip arthritis
- Ankle arthritis
- Shoulder arthritis
- Wrist arthritis
- Spine arthritis
INFLAMMATORY ARTHRITIS
While inflammatory arthritis is typically managed with a rheumatologist, our team collaborates to provide complementary care. This approach includes reducing pain and improving function to support the medical management of these conditions.
COMPREHENSIVE ARTHRITIS TREATMENTS WE OFFER
We integrate cutting-edge therapies alongside standard treatments like strengthening and flexibility exercises to ensure optimal results. Our team of chiropractors and physical therapists works cohesively to provide the following options:
SHOCKWAVE THERAPY
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses sound waves to stimulate healing and reduce pain. It’s particularly effective for knee arthritis. Clinical results show a 50% reduction in pain scores eight weeks after the initial treatment series. Here’s what to expect:
- TREATMENT PROTOCOL: Six sessions spaced over several weeks.
- CLINICAL GUIDELINES: No more than six sessions within six months to a year, following clinical standards.
LASER THERAPY
Laser therapy enhances pain reduction and promotes tissue healing. The combination of laser and shockwave has delivered excellent results for many of our patients.
STRENGTHENING AND FLEXIBILITY EXERCISES
Targeted exercises are key to improving joint function and reducing symptoms. Our team develops personalized programs based on the specific joint or issue being treated, ensuring you regain strength and mobility.
DRY NEEDLING
Dry needling is an effective technique for relieving pain and improving muscle function. It’s particularly beneficial for managing chronic and persistent pain associated with arthritis.
MODERN PAIN SCIENCE STRATEGIES
Our providers stay informed on the latest advancements in chronic and persistent pain management. By applying contemporary pain science principles, we help patients reframe their pain experience, regain control, and improve overall function.
