What is Arthritis?

Arthritis isn’t just one condition — it’s a broad term used for joint pain or joint disease. It can affect a single joint or multiple joints at the same time. There are over 100 different types of arthritis, and it can occur in people of any age or gender. Millions of adults and even children around the world live with some form of arthritis, making it one of the most common causes of joint discomfort and mobility issues.

Early recognition and care are key. Many people ignore the initial signs like stiffness, swelling, or mild pain — waiting until the condition worsens. But early intervention through physical therapy can make a major difference.

At Physical Therapy Healthcare Center, our therapists help relieve pain, improve flexibility, and protect your joints from further damage. Through customized exercises and movement techniques, we aim to restore your mobility and make everyday activities easier and more comfortable.

With the right care and consistent movement, you can take control of arthritis — instead of letting it control you.
