At PhysioFlex, our trained professionals are dedicated to finding the most effective, innovative treatment for all types of chronic pain. Each week our Gold Coast Physiotherapist Ben Mack travels to Gold Coast Nursing Homes for treatment of patients with osteoarthritis and other muscular skeletal problems.
Ben often incorporates the use of a single point stick to help reduce pain from an osteoarthritic knee, hip, or ankle. He finds this arthritic treatment very effective and has seen impressive results were patients have been able to mobilize more comfortably.
Recent studies by the Australian Physiotherapy Association investigated the treatment and improvement of knee osteoarthritis. One specific study examined the improvement of knee osteoarthritis when using a cane.
The experiment required participants to walk with cane assistance for the period of two months. Results of the study revealed improvement in pain levels of patients with knee osteoarthritis.
Commentary and further results, including specific details and certain limitations can be found in Volume 58 of the Journal of Physiotherapy. For more information, view the full article online here.
