However, we know how much joint pain can prevent you from getting or staying fit, not to mention how it affects your overall quality of life. So, we’d like to tell you about what we are equipped to do for your joint pain, depending on what’s causing it, whether you live in Rancho Cucamonga, Riverside, or near one of our other locations.
Stretching for joint pain
Joint pain is frequently caused by improper warmups or tight tendons when you go to exercise. Our assisted stretching reaches deeper muscle tissue and tendons than stretching on your own can. This ensures you’re less likely to pull a muscle or experience joint pain later.
Red light therapy for joint pain
Red light therapy works by stimulating your body’s cells to promote healing while also reducing swelling. Since injury, pain, and swelling often occur together—especially in your joints—this therapy is highly effective in helping reduce joint discomfort.
Cryotherapy for joint pain
Cryotherapy works similarly to red light therapy in that it promotes healing and reduces swelling. However, it achieves this by exposing your body to incredibly cold temperatures, which triggers your “fight or flight” response. This reaction helps your body boost circulation, lower inflammation, and accelerate recovery.
Percussion therapy for joint pain
Sometimes, joint pain is caused by muscle and tendon tension around the joint. In these cases, percussion therapy is immensely helpful.
Using a specialized massage gun that both vibrates and makes small jabbing motions, this therapy works to release muscle knots and alleviate tightness. By relaxing the surrounding muscles and tendons, it helps prevent joint pain caused by tension.
Cupping for joint pain
While cupping doesn’t directly treat your joints, its purpose is to remove tension, improve circulation, and reduce swelling. By improving blood flow and easing muscle tightness, cupping indirectly supports joint health and reduces pain.
Our other options for joint pain
In addition to the therapies listed above, we offer other effective treatments to support joint health through more indirect means. These include:
- Hyperbaric oxygen therapy
- Rock blading
- And more.
Regular exercise and joint health
Finally, there’s a simple truth: exercising regularly supports your overall health and keeps your joints in better condition. Regular movement helps prevent stiffness and improves flexibility.
Our recovery specialists are happy to work with you to develop a personalized workout plan designed to promote joint health and overall fitness.
