Portable Spa, Swim Dealer Participates in Juvenile Arthritis Month
Dealer Selling D1 Spas, Swim Spas and Portable Hot Tubs Shares 3 Ways to Handle the Most Common Forms of Childhood Arthritis - Offers Free Portable Spa Test Soaks Queen Creek and Chandler, AZ Residents.
Queen Creek, AZ, July 30, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Southwest Spas, the premier Dimension One Spas dealer in the Phoenix, Mesa and Tempe, Arizona area selling new and used hot tubs is participating in Physical Fitness Month.
“Juvenile arthritis is quite a bit different than age-related joint stiffness and pain,” said Melinda Dalacas, manager of Southwest Spas. “All forms of juvenile arthritis need a wide range of treatments to conquer the full-scope of effects of the disease,” continued Dalacas. Here are three ways to handle the most common forms of childhood arthritis:
Medications and Exercise - Doctors will usually prescribe a range of medications to combat the effects of juvenile arthritis. These drugs include those for pain and inflammation, but may also include drugs that alter the progression of the diseases that cause JA. DMARDs, disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs are usually prescribed for the first type of juvenile arthritis, systemic arthritis. Steroids can help improve motion in joints affected by all types of arthritis as well.
Support Systems - Parents should speak to key adults in their child’s life to seek support for them. Dealing with the affects of arthritis are wide-ranging. They can make getting around in a large school difficult and cause problems in-group activities the child may be engaged in. Adults involved can help make sure that the child has relief from strategic difficulties such as stairs, long walks or involvement in strenuous sports or activities.
Another reason to speak to school authorities and even neighborhood parents is that other kids can be very cruel. Many do not understand what arthritis is, and since it can’t be readily seen, often do not understand why the child with JA can’t do what they do. Having adults who can jump in when there is trouble or taunting will help youngsters dealing with peer pressure and possible hazing due to their illness.
Don’t forget to be an important part of the solution. Be ready to talk to children with arthritis so they can voice their problems and even anger. It is common for anyone dealing with a serious, life-altering disease to be angry. Don’t downplay or brush off their anger. Listen to them and be understanding while attempting to help them cope with the illness.
Hydrotherapy - One of the best forms of therapy for arthritis is hydrotherapy. Pools and hot tubs can provide gentle relief from pain and a way to exercise that won’t put further stress on joints. However, pools take up a lot of room and require a lot of care. Hot tubs are much more feasible, save space and are easy to care for.
Even better, a hot tub has some things a pool does not. It has heat and massage jets built in. While the buoyancy of the water is equal in both pool and hot tub, and allows kids with JA to exercise and feel the relief of weightlessness on their joints, hot tubs are hands down the better choice. The swirling water from the jets gently massages sore areas. The warmth of a hot tub provides relief from pain and helps reduce swelling and also promotes an increased production of synovial fluid to reduce arthritis symptoms.
“To help local residents understand how portable spas, hot tubs and swim spas can help improve overall health and well-being, Southwest Spas will provide free hot tub test soaks during the entire month,” commented Dalacas. “We want to encourage local residents to check out the benefits of a relaxing soak in the soothing waters of a hot tub for themselves.”
