Arthritis does not have to mean giving up the things you enjoy. The people we see most want to keep doing these:
Joints usually feel better with regular, well-dosed movement. Our aim is to find the right amount of activity for your joints, ease the muscle tension that builds up around them, and help you keep doing what matters to you.
Bring these observations with you:
If a joint becomes suddenly hot, red and swollen, or you have fever with joint pain, contact your physician right away.
We start with your goals and history, then check range of motion, strength and walking. We look at the joints above and below the painful one, since better support there often eases the load.
First-day care is usually gentle hands-on work plus a few movements you can do daily. A therapeutic massage with evaluation is $130 for 60 minutes, and we will tell you if SoftWave, acupuncture or corrective exercise is worth adding. We do not bill insurance, and we accept HSA and CareCredit. Book online or call 434-465-2905.
Many people manage arthritis symptoms with conservative care focused on reducing irritation, improving mobility, building strength, and supporting joint function.
SoftWave Therapy may help support circulation, tissue recovery, and comfort around irritated joints and surrounding soft tissue.
Gentle, appropriate movement is often helpful for arthritis because it supports joint mobility, circulation, strength, and daily function.
Massage may help reduce surrounding muscle tension, improve circulation, and support comfort around stiff or painful joints.
Seek medical evaluation if you have severe swelling, redness, fever, sudden inability to use a joint, rapid worsening, or symptoms that significantly limit daily function.
