Make Arthritis Pain Go Away
Research shows that about one in four adults in the U.S. has been diagnosed by their doctor with arthritis. While taking medication every day to dull the pain can have its downside, there’s no downside to physical and/or occupational therapy. Most people will tell you that the more they move, the better they feel.
Move It So You Won’t Lose It.
Exercises that improve range of motion and strengthen the muscles surrounding your joints can be helpful in treating your arthritis. CORA’s licensed clinicians will teach you what you need to know. What’s more, we offer treatments that can relieve the pain without affecting your liver or kidneys. The best thing is you don’t have to see a physician to start physical occupational therapy. You can refer yourself to CORA.
There are two main types of arthritis: osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Osteoarthritis is caused by wear and tear on joints while rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease where the body's own immune system attacks the body's joints. Each damages the joints in different ways, but both can greatly impact our quality of life.
