What If Your Arthritis Pain Had a Different Solution?

Written By Angela Francis

Arthritis is often perceived as an inevitable part of aging—a condition that leads to joint pain, stiffness, and a decline in mobility. However, at Synergy, we believe that with the right approach, it's possible to manage arthritis effectively without resorting to surgeries or injections.

Understanding Arthritis in Aging Adults

Arthritis affects a significant portion of the aging population. According to the National Poll on Healthy Aging, approximately 70% of adults aged 50–80 report experiencing joint pain. Furthermore, 60% have been diagnosed with some form of arthritis, with osteoarthritis being the most common type. ​Source

These statistics highlight the prevalence of arthritis among older adults, underscoring the importance of effective management strategies.

Dr. Angie's Conservative Approach

Dr. Angie emphasizes a conservative, non-invasive approach to managing arthritis. The focus is on strengthening the muscles that support the affected joints, thereby improving stability and reducing pain. This method involves:

  • Personalized Exercise Programs: Tailored exercises that target specific muscle groups to enhance joint support.​

  • Functional Movement Training: Activities designed to improve daily movement patterns, reducing strain on joints.​

  • Education and Empowerment: Providing patients with the knowledge and tools to manage their condition proactively.​

By focusing on these areas, patients can experience improved mobility and a reduction in pain, enhancing their overall quality of life.​

The Importance of Strengthening

Strengthening the muscles around arthritic joints is crucial. Strong muscles act as shock absorbers, reducing the stress on joints and slowing the progression of arthritis. This approach not only alleviates pain but also empowers individuals to take control of their health.​

Conclusion

Arthritis doesn't have to dictate the quality of your life. With a conservative approach focused on strengthening and functional movement, it's possible to manage arthritis effectively. Dr. Angie and the Synergy team are dedicated to helping you achieve a pain-free, active lifestyle without the need for surgeries or injections.
