Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis, the “osteo” part of this word refers to the bones of the joints having irritation as well.

Movement is the single best treatment for Osteoarthritis! Remember that pain you get in the morning? Doesn’t it go away after about 30 minutes of waking up and moving around? Then you sit down and read the paper in the morning, then getting up again is painful and you hear a crack, right? But you start moving and walking around and the pain starts to ease. Moving is what our bodies were made for!

Doctors of Physical Therapy are experts at examining joints and movement patterns of the body. Often simple adjustments in your daily routine will greatly reduce pain.

Electrolytes are essential and their balance is just as important. If you have signs of fatigue, cramps/spasms, irregular heartbeat, changes in blood pressure, or poor exercise recovery, you may want to check your mineral balances.

Sodium, Potassium, Magnesium, and Calcium all work together to keep your pulse steady, muscles contracting, and bones strong.

What do they do on their own?
- Sodium is critical for hydration.
- Potassium powers heart function and muscle contractions.
- Magnesium is essential for muscle recovery.
- Calcium supports bone health and muscle performance.
