Celebrate Arthritis Awareness Month this May with Beyond Basics Physical Therapy! Arthritis is a musculoskeletal disorder that affects more than 50 million Americans. It can be sub-categorized into many different diseases, including Osteoarthritis (OA), Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), and Juvenile Arthritis (JA, an autoimmune disorder among children below age 16). Some misunderstand the disease and think that it involves minor aging related aches and pains. However, arthritis is not something to take lightly- early diagnosis and symptom management is important to slow down the degenerative process and reduce the effects.
