Arthritis is an inflammatory disease that affects the joints and bones, resulting in joint pain, stiffness and redness. The most common forms, osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, stem from different causes. The former is caused by wear and tear of the joints, whereas the latter is affected by an autoimmune disorder that is more painful than osteoarthritis. Contrary to what most patients with arthritis believe, physical exercise can diminish the symptoms of arthritis because it strengthens the muscles around the affected join and thus lessens the pressure of body weight on that joint. In addition to taking pain medication, people with arthritis need assistance with regular exercise.
Caregivers and certified nurse aides play a vital role in communicating with the family and the primary care physician to execute a tailored exercise program. Eating healthy, sustaining a well-balanced life and being surrounded by loved ones in the comfort of one’s own home expedite the overall health of someone with Arthritis. Arthritis Care provides support not only for the affected individual but also for the whole family. Having an expert home health aide around to perform daily tasks, provide comfort and care, and assist with personal hygiene gives the family a peace of mind that their loved one is being taken care of.
