Joint pain is a common complaint among both athletes and non-athletes. Not only can the pain be uncomfortable and distracting, but it can also be immobilizing at times – making it difficult to engage in smooth, stable movements.
If you’re looking for a solution for joint pain, we have effective recovery services for you to consider. In this article, we’ll discuss more about joint pain, including why it happens, and what types of therapies we offer as solutions to this common problem.
Common Causes of Joint Pain
Joint pain, whether temporary or chronic, can have multiple potential causes. Joint pain can be caused or triggered by overuse, improper form when working out, exposure to cold and/or wet weather, or direct injuries, like sprains. Rapidly increasing your physical activity level after prolonged sedentary behavior may also cause joint pain.
In chronic cases of joint pain, there’s usually an underlying cause, such as arthritis, an autoimmune condition, or a systemic infection.
What Types of Therapies Help Joint Pain?
At Recovery Lab, we offer multiple wellness services to assist with joint pain and other joint-related symptoms. While our offerings can’t be used as a substitute for standard medical care, our sessions can be used to support your holistic well-being.
Consider these services of ours to aid with joint paint:
- Whole-body or localized cryotherapy
- Normatec compression therapy
- Percussion therapy
- Hyperbaric oxygen therapy
- Red light therapy
How Do These Services Help the Joints?
Each of the latter wellness services aids with joint health in different ways, with some offering overlapping benefits.
Cryotherapy can temporarily numb overactive nerves and bring down inflammation. Compression therapy can reduce excess fluid from the limbs to provide pain relief. Percussion therapy can relieve muscle tightness, which can otherwise put stress on the joints. Hyperbaric and red light therapy can both support tissue repair.
Our services aren’t a cure for joint pain, nor are they a replacement for medical attention. However, they can help support your joint health and help improve your joint-related symptoms.
How Often Should I Schedule Wellness Services for Joint Pain?
Your budget, availability, and severity of joint pain can help determine how often you’ll need to book your recovery service appointments. The type of service you select can also be a determining factor.
For general maintenance purposes, we recommend scheduling a session once or twice a week. During flare-ups, you may want to book your sessions one to five times a week. As for post-workout recovery, we recommend three to five times a week.
In the end, it all comes down to your needs and what works best for you. Listening to your body is also crucial.
