Arthritis
Arthritis is an advanced condition that often appears later in life, especially for those who have a history of joint problems. Arthritis is an inflammation of the joints causing pain and discomfort in one or multiple joints at a time. The symptoms of arthritis usually develop over time as a result of excessive use. The main two types of Arthritis are osteoarthritis or OA and rheumatoid arthritis or RA.
Rehabilitation Process
Treatment for arthritis patients varies depending on the specific type of arthritis diagnosis each patient receives. The ultimate goal of arthritis treatment is to reduce the amount of daily pain a patient may experience and to prevent additional joint damage. Often times in order to do this arthritis patients will need to utilize things like ice packs and heating to manage pain and swelling. Patients also sometimes need to use assistive devices such as canes, walkers or in severe cases wheelchairs to help alleviate pain and pressure in the affected joints.
About our Arthritis care
Symptoms of arthritis can cause someone to struggle with daily tasks. Some symptoms of arthritis include joint pain, stiffness and swelling. These symptoms can cause problems with a patient’s range of motion and in severe cases can lead to anemia. With swollen, painful joints daily tasks can become difficult. We at Polaris Home Care are committed to helping those who are living with arthritis. Our caregivers assist our clients with their activities of daily living including dressing oneself, assistance with showering, meal preparation and housekeeping.
