Get Back to Everyday Activities Without Difficulty
Just because joint pain is slowing you down, doesn’t mean you have to live with the pain. The myths that there is nothing you can do for arthritis or that physical activity will cause more pain are just NOT true!
Movement and exercise are the most effective arthritis pain relievers. Our physical therapists have treatment options that will keep you active, lessen your pain, and get you back to performing everyday activities.
