In light of May being 𝗔𝗿𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘀 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵, we thought we’d debunk a common myth about arthritis:

𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗠𝗬𝗧𝗛: "Exercise worsens arthritis" - Many people fear it may cause further joint damage and increased pain. However, avoiding physical activity can lead to muscle weakness, decreased flexibility, and weight gain, exacerbating arthritis symptoms over time.

𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗠𝗬𝗧𝗛𝗕𝗨𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗥: Contrary to popular belief, exercise is not detrimental to arthritis but is, in fact, highly beneficial. Staying active is essential for managing arthritis symptoms and improving overall joint health.
Regular appropriate, low-impact exercise is safe and beneficial for arthritis patients because it:
1. Strengthens muscles, providing better support and stability for joints.
2. Maintains joint flexibility, preventing stiffness and contractures.
3. Manages weight, reducing joint stress and pain.
4. Reduces inflammation and improves mood.
5. Enhances overall quality of life and independence.

Activities such as walking, swimming, cycling and pilates are particularly suitable for arthritis patients, as they minimise joint stress while providing significant benefits. Additionally flexibility exercises like yoga or stretching can help improve range of motion and alleviate stiffness.
Exercise is a powerful tool for managing arthritis, empowering individuals to lead active and fulfilling lives. Embrace movement as medicine, and reap its countless benefits for arthritis management and well-being.
It can be challenging to exercise when experiencing joint pain but the key is to implement the right type of exercise program.

May is 𝗔𝗿𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘀 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵, providing an opportunity to shed light on this prevalent but often misunderstood condition.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗔𝗿𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘀?
Arthritis is an umbrella term encompassing hundreds of joint diseases and related conditions. The most common types include osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). OA occurs when the protective cartilage that cushions the ends of your bones wears down over time, leading to pain, swelling, and stiffness. RA, on the other hand, is an autoimmune disorder where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the joints, causing inflammation and damage.

𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗳 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘀:
While there is no cure for certain types of arthritis, several treatments and lifestyle changes can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life. These may include:
medications, physical therapy like chiropractic care and lifestyle modifications.

𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal disorders, making it a valuable option for individuals with arthritis. Chiropractors use hands-on spinal manipulation and other manual techniques to align the body's musculoskeletal structure, aimed at relieving pain, and improving function. For arthritis patients, chiropractic adjustments may help reduce joint inflammation, alleviate pain, and restore mobility. Additionally, your chiropractor may recommend mobility and gentle strengthening exercises or nutritional counselling to further support arthritis management.
