Home Health : Arthritis Dangers
Arthritis can cause a great deal of pain and disability. It can make common chores and activities uncomfortable at best and can even cause sever pain. Probably the most dangerous effect of arthritis, however, is that it causes patients to limit physical activity. This inactivity can make them vulnerable to serious problems such as heart disease and diabetes. For a person fighting the pain and stiffness of arthritis, it is not only possible but beneficial to exercise. In order to overcome the barriers and find safe and effective workouts, many patients benefit from physical therapy and / or occupational therapy. St. John’s Brady Rehabilitation Center offers both of these types of specialized therapy. The therapists at Brady can custom-create a treatment plan for each individual patient. For more information on the services offered at Brady Rehabilitation or other services, call St. John’s Referral One at 625.2000 or log on to stj.com.
When it matters most, think St. John’s.
