Arthritis and Joint Pain Treatment in Burlington

Arthritis does not have to mean giving up activity. The right exercise and hands-on care can reduce pain and keep you moving.

Understanding the condition

About arthritis & joint pain

Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis, affecting the knees, hips, hands and spine. Inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis also affect the joints. While joint changes cannot be reversed, research consistently shows that exercise, weight management and education reduce pain and improve function. Hands-on care, massage and acupuncture can ease symptoms along the way.
