Treatment results
The effectiveness of physical therapy has been proven in practice. It promotes the restoration of cartilage tissues of the affected joint, stops their deformation. Thanks to such measures, pain sensations go away, the intensity of the disease slows down, it is easier for the patient to endure gout attacks, pain is relieved, inflammation is removed, cartilage decay processes are suspended or significantly slowed down, metabolism improves, absorption of therapeutic ointments increases, blood vessels expand.
In order to prevent immobilization of the limbs, complex treatment is carried out with the use of medicinal and non-medicinal methods. Physical therapy for gout occupies an important place in the recovery process. Effective procedures help to cope with exacerbations and improve joint functionality.
Consequences of lack of treatment
Gout is accompanied by complications – from constant painful symptoms to complete loss of mobility. In order to avoid such problems, complex treatment is carried out using physiotherapy methods.
Gout is a chronic disease that cannot be completely cured. With the help of complex therapy, stable remission is achieved. Physiotherapy is necessarily present in the treatment regimen as an auxiliary technique that increases joint mobility and improves well-being. Along with proper nutrition and the implementation of medical prescriptions, physiotherapy provides an active and fulfilling life for a gout patient.
