Short YouTube clip by Dr. Joshua John-Ram Schacter answering whether exercise improves joint pain. He frames a patient case with severe shoulder osteoarthritis, notes biological therapies (PRP, bone marrow aspirate/stem cells) as options, and emphasizes that exercise therapy is a main focus and can improve pain even in severe arthritis.
So a patient asked me today whether exercise would improve his shoulder pain. Now, this gentleman suffers from severe osteoarthritis of the shoulder. And so there's not a lot we can do with that joint surgically short of a replacement. Now, prp, bone marrow aspirate or stem cell procedures can certainly be used to alleviate the symptoms of arthritis. And in some cases, they've been shown to slow the progression of arthritis and strengthen the structures around the should. But the question is an excellent one. Exercise therapy can help us with joint pain. And so at Pinnacle, that's one of our main focuses when we take on a patient, is that we want to get them on an exercise program. Very, very important. So excellent question from a patient today. And the answer is yes, exercise can help improve your pain, even in the worst arthritic joint.
