Arthritis Treatment | Charleston SC

ARTHRITIS TREATMENT AND RELIEF

One of the most common forms of disability in the US is arthritis. According to the Arthritis Foundation, over 50 million adults and 300,000 children have some type of arthritis. While arthritis is most commonly found in women and older people, it is still a painful, frustrating disease. Some symptoms include swelling, pain, stiffness, and decreased range of motion. At Non-Surgical Spine Center, in Mt. Pleasant, SC we want to help you lessen the pain that comes with arthritis. Imagine: living a life free of pain!

To avoid developing arthritis, try these useful tips:

  • Balance regular physical activity with rest.
  • Maintain a healthy weight.
  • Use both hot and cold therapies.
  • Avoid excessive repetitive movements.
  • Take over-the-counter pain relievers or anti-inflammatory medicines.
  • Maintain a healthy immune system.
  • Avoid or quit smoking.

The more our patients understand what’s causing their arthritis, the more quickly the Non-Surgical Spine Center can address these issues and work towards eliminating our patients’ back pain. Though there aren’t many known causes of arthritis, these are a few reasons you may be experiencing joint pain or swelling.

CAUSES OF ARTHRITIS
