🌟 July is Juvenile Arthritis Awareness Month 🌟
Did you know that children can get arthritis too?

Juvenile Arthritis (JA) is not just one condition—it’s an umbrella term for several autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases that affect the joints, muscles, skin, and sometimes even internal organs of children aged 16 and younger. These conditions impact hundreds of thousands of kids and teens across the U.S.
In most forms of JA, the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissue, causing chronic inflammation. This often leads to pain, swelling, stiffness, and reduced mobility.

While the exact cause remains unknown, researchers believe a combination of genetic and environmental factors may trigger JA. There’s no evidence that it’s caused by poor diet—but anti-inflammatory eating patterns, like the Mediterranean diet, may help ease symptoms.

🌟 Juvenile Arthritis Awareness Month is about changing perceptions. 🌟

Too often, arthritis is seen as something that only affects older adults—but children as young as a few months old can face this lifelong condition.
The goals of JA treatment include:
✅ Reducing inflammation and pain
✅ Slowing disease progression
✅ Protecting joints and organs
✅ Preserving mobility and improving quality of life

At Synergy Physical Therapy and Wellness, we’re proud to offer innovative, non-invasive options to support children and adults living with arthritis, including:
💚 Red Light Therapy
💚 Functional Dry Needling
💚 Microcurrent Point Stimulation Therapy

Together, we can spread the word—and help people of all ages move and feel better. 💚

☀️ Soak Up the Benefits of Sunlight — Safely! 🌿

Sunlight does more than brighten your day — it’s essential to your health. The right amount of sun exposure can:

🦴 Support healthy bones by boosting vitamin D
❤️ Lower blood pressure and support heart health
🧠 Improve mood and promote mental well-being
🛌 Help regulate sleep through serotonin and melatonin balance
🛡️ Strengthen your immune system and reduce inflammation

Research shows that spending time in the sun helps the skin and immune system remain healthy, potentially lowering the risks of some autoimmune diseases and certain types of cancer, including colon cancer.

☀️ But balance is key ⚖️ — the sun is most intense during summer months between 12-4, so try to incorporate time in the sun outside of these hours. Additionally, in the summer it is especially important to take precautions against sunburns and sun-rashes; this can be done through a combination of strategies like:
🌞 limiting time in direct sunlight to less than 20 minutes,
🌞 using skin care products with an SPF of 30 or greater,
🌞 taking advantage of sunglasses, sun hats, and rash guard clothing

At Synergy Physical Therapy and Wellness, we want to help you live your best life! Enjoy the sun in moderation, protect your skin, and aim for a healthy dose each day. Want to read more? We'll attach some resources to information about health and sunshine in the comments below.

☀️Your wellness starts with a little sunshine. ☀️
