At The Rub Club, proudly serving Paris and Sulphur Springs, TX, our professional massage therapists specialize in various treatments for joint pain relief, sports injuries, and prenatal care.
What Is a Joint?
A joint in the human body is the place where two bones meet to allow a certain amount of movement within their natural limitations. There are several different types of joints throughout the body, and they usually consist of cartilage, tendons, ligaments, fluid, membranes, and bursae, all of which are susceptible to injury and/or illness.
What Causes Joint Pain?
As a rule, the more a joint can move, the more risk there is of sustaining an injury resulting in joint pain. This can happen on the sports field or at work if you overexert yourself to the point of sustaining a sprain or strain. Joint pain can also be caused by illness and health conditions like:
- Viral or bacterial infections
- Gout
- Autoimmune diseases
- Arthritis
- Bursitis
Depending on the underlying cause, our team at The Rub Club serving Paris and Sulphur Springs, TX, may be able to provide joint pain relief after assessment and screening. Some symptoms that we screen for include redness, swelling, tenderness, and decreased range of motion. We will also ask you certain questions to help determine whether our solutions are right for you.
How to Get Joint Pain Relief
For joint pain relief, your healthcare provider may prescribe pain medication and/or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Light exercise is important for patients with non-arthritic joint pain.
Another great way to achieve joint pain relief is to use natural, alternative therapies like the massages we offer and chiropractic together with stretching exercises. Along with pain relief, this strengthens the body to help avoid future mechanical joint pain.
In the case of infections, fractures, or other non-mechanical joint pain concerns, we recommend that you seek further medical advice.
Benefits of Massage Therapy
Massage therapy is often associated with the three Rs – relax, relieve, and restore. This is especially beneficial for athletes who need to keep their bodies loose, strong, and injury-free.
Some pregnant women also suffer from joint and ligament pain that massage therapy can assuage. Babies and children may also benefit from massage therapy to relieve gas, muscle tension and improve sleep quality.
For this reason, our team is pleased to be able to offer several types of massage therapy suitable for your individual needs.
