Why am I experiencing arthritis?
Osteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis and is usually easy to identify. It can happen after a joint injury or might occur over time, even if an old injury seemed to heal. Take a college football player who injures their knee but recovers and keeps playing. Even after healing, there could be hidden damage to cartilage or muscles that lessens joint support or alters joint movement. This hidden damage can lead to osteoarthritis with time.

What are the causes of arthritis?
According to the Arthritis Foundation, arthritis affects over 50 million people and it is currently the leading cause of disability across the nation. Arthritis causes pain, inflammation, and it can affect one or multiple joints at once.
Osteoarthritis strikes when the joint's protective cartilage erodes – a victim of time's march or relentless activity. As this cushion thins, joint pain becomes your unwelcome companion, signaling a loss of that shock-absorbing fortress. Soon, bone grinds on bone, sparking inflammation and declaring the joint's distress.
Battle the burn of rheumatoid arthritis, the unwelcome visitor known as "inflammatory arthritis." Wave goodbye to joint discomfort that's oh-so-eager to settle in after moments of stillness. Say no to the pain that lingers after long sits or stands!
Arthritis doesn't stand a chance! Feeling the pinch when you stride? Joints crackling like a chorus of disapproval? Touch shouldn't trigger pain - it's not part of the daily script. Remember this: if activity worsens and rest softens, it's your cue to combat joint woes!

Looking to Improve Your Physical Health? Here are 6 Ways Physical Therapy Can Help
Are you struggling because of poor physical health? Your body's fitness is deeply connected to your happiness and mental state. Mayo Clinic research shows that active people often have longer lives and enjoy perks such like losing weight, building muscles, and having better health in general.
It might be tough to start exercising more, but a physical therapist can make it easier. Discover how Stride Physical Therapy's physical therapy can enhance your health:
1. Physical Therapy Treats Both Acute and Chronic Pain
Physical therapy helps greatly with both sudden and long-term pain. MoveForwardPT says that being more active can make you feel up to 28% less pain. When patients know why they hurt and how therapy will assist them, they're more apt to find relief from their pain through treatment.
2. Physical Therapy is a Safe, Natural, and Non-Invasive Option
Physical therapy offers a safe and non-invasive alternative to pain management, reducing the need for pain medications and surgery. It lowers the risk of infections, complications, and side effects, presenting a safer option than opioids and surgical treatments.
3. Physical Therapy Decreases the Risk of Injuries and Cardiovascular Problems
Strengthening muscles and joints through physical therapy can reduce the risk of injuries in everyday activities. Stronger muscles recover faster, decreasing the likelihood of repetitive stress injuries. An active lifestyle also helps protect against major health issues like stroke and heart attack.
4. Physical Therapy Helps Heal Damaged Tissues
A 2018 study by the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) found that physical therapy holds promise in treating tissue damage, such as meniscal tears. This suggests additional benefits for other tissue injuries, helping those with injuries or a history of injuries improve stamina and overall function.
5. Physical Therapy Provides Energy Boosts
Physical therapy improves range of motion and activity levels. According to Harvard Health Publishing, increased activity is linked to higher energy levels. Patients with pain often experience greater mobility and energy with less discomfort through physical therapy.
6. Physical Therapy Enhances Mood and Reduces the Risk of Mental Illness
Physical therapy and consistent exercise improve your mental well-being and brighten your mood, says the National Institutes of Health. Feeling better mentally can decrease your chances of suffering from anxiety, depression, and other emotional challenges. Plus, if you're in good mental shape, you're less prone to pain and swelling.
