Arthritis Pain: Moving More to Hurt Less ๐Ÿฆดโœจ

It sounds backwards โ€” but when it comes to arthritis, movement is medicine. Staying active can actually reduce pain, improve mobility, and help you feel stronger day by day.

Hereโ€™s why it works:
๐Ÿ’ช Movement strengthens the muscles that support your joints
๐Ÿฆต Improves flexibility and reduces stiffness
๐Ÿ”ฅ Helps decrease inflammation and joint discomfort
โš–๏ธ Keeps joints functioning smoothly and efficiently
๐ŸŒŸ Supports better balance, energy, and overall quality of life

The key? Consistent, low-impact movement โ€” not pushing through pain, but progressing the right way. Exercise done correctly can ease arthritis symptoms and make everyday tasks easier.

You donโ€™t have to figure it out alone. A guided plan helps you move safely and see real results.

โ€œI had been experiencing pain in my shoulder for the last three years. I attributed the pain to landscaping, weeding, lifting heavy objects. After a day or two it would feel better. Eventually it got worse so I got massages to alleviate the pain. That seemed to help, but it became too expensive to continue. When the pain came back I saw an orthopedic surgeon, he X-rayed it and told me I had arthritis and gave me a cortisone shot. Six months later I went and he offered me another shot and some pain medication, I refused because I didnโ€™t want to start a regimen of shots and pills. After some time the pain got so bad it was interfering with my sleep. I went to a pain relief workshop at the Pain Achievement Center and it sounded promising, just the approach I was looking for. I signed up for 12 treatments, after the first couple of treatments I was receiving relief. I am very pleased with my progress so far. Dr. Eric and his associates are very personable and know how to reach your goal without pain. I canโ€™t say enough good things about PAC and I highly recommend them for pain relief. So happy with my progress.โ€

โ€œMy experience at Physical Achievement thus far has been of great success and a great experience. I was able to get in days after calling them and since I was leaving the state for a month in two weeks, they worked hard in getting me into as many sessions as possible before I left.

Iโ€™ve been struggling for 3 years with chronic joint immobility in my hips. With PT, laser therapy, red light therapy and treatment with Dr. Eric, Dr. Jessica and Ashley, I have improved my internal rotation from -15 to 25 in a week and a half!! I believe with all of the above and the home exercises they gave me, Iโ€™m on the road to recovery.

Highly recommend! If you put in the effort and commit, we can often improve without medications and surgery.โ€œ

Looking down at your phone may seem harmless, but over time it can place serious strain on your neck and spine. The more your head tilts forward, the more pressure builds, leading to pain, stiffness, and poor posture.

In our latest blog, we cover:
โญ What โ€œtext neckโ€ really is and why it happens
โญ How phone use increases stress on your neck and shoulders
โญ Common symptoms like headaches, stiffness, and reduced mobility
โญ Simple habits to protect your posture and prevent long-term damage
โญ When to seek help from a physical therapy professional

Protect your posture, reduce pain, and stay active with healthier daily habits.

โ€œI started seeing Dr Eric because my left hip was giving me problems. I had an X-ray and was told I needed a hip replacement. I had tried my chiropractor but improvement was going really slow. I decided to try physical therapy. Iโ€™m happy for this decision.
Now I have much more flexibility and strength in my hip. I can walk up and down stairs, put my socks and shoes on easily and just enjoy a more normal life.
I would recommend Physical Achievement Center to anyone that wants to improve their mobility and enjoy a more fulfilling life.โ€

โญ The difference between harmless popping and forced cracking

โ€œI have had a "frozen" shoulder for the past 5 years due to arthritis. I was advised by an orthopedic surgeon that the only option for me was a shoulder replacement. I tried physical therapy but the therapist tried to force the shoulder which brought me to tears. I gave up and thought I would have to live with the constant pain and unable to lift my arm more than 6 inches. I have been going to the physical achievement center for a few weeks and already have 75% more range of motion and the pain is not unbearable anymore. The therapists take their time and explain what they are doing and definitely listen to my concerns. I have tried dry needling and have had very good results. I still have a way to go but and confident I will soon be back to golfing, bowling, volleyball this summer. I am so extremely grateful to everyone at the clinic for getting me this far and reccomend it for anyone. You won't regret it!โ€
