Joint Pain Treated

A Customized Approach to Joint Pain Relief

Joint pain can be caused by many conditions—including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, injuries, and overuse. At Core Fit Physical Therapy, we begin with a complete evaluation to determine the source of your discomfort.

Comprehensive Diagnostic Tools

• Physical examinations
• Imaging tests (such as X-rays or MRIs)
• Bloodwork

These tools help us identify contributing factors like:

• Joint degeneration
• Inflammation
• Muscle or ligament strains
• Bone fractures

Tailored Treatment Plans Based on Your Needs

Your customized treatment plan is designed around:

• The location and severity of your pain
• The underlying cause
• Your medical history
• Your lifestyle and activity goals

Potential Treatment Options

• Medications
• Physical or occupational therapy
• Orthotic devices or braces
• Injections (e.g., corticosteroids or PRP)
• Surgery (for advanced conditions)

Our goal is simple: to restore joint function and reduce pain, so you can return to the active life you enjoy.

FAQs: Joint Pain Evaluation and Treatment

When should I see a doctor about joint pain?

If your joint pain is sudden, follows an injury, causes swelling, interferes with daily activities, or persists beyond two weeks, seek medical attention. Early diagnosis improves treatment outcomes.

What helps relieve painful joints?

Treatment depends on the cause. Common options include ice or heat, NSAIDs, bracing, physical therapy, PRP injections, and—if necessary—surgery for advanced cases like arthritis.

At what age does joint pain typically begin?

Joint pain becomes more common over the age of 50 but can affect younger individuals, especially after injuries or due to inflammatory conditions. Don’t ignore persistent discomfort at any age.

What is the leading cause of joint pain?

Osteoarthritis is the most common cause due to cartilage wear. Other factors include injuries, overuse, autoimmune diseases, and excess body weight. We help identify your specific cause.
