Frequently Asked Questions

Exercise

Exercise is useful mainly to maintain muscle tone and range of motion. Isometric exercises and gentle range of motion exercises should be sufficient. Because arthritis is often a problem of “wear and tear”, vigorous exercises and the use of weights only results in further deterioration of the joint. Vigorous physical therapy, aggressive stretching and chiropractic manipulation usually worsen the symptoms.
