Guide To Treating Arachnoiditis

Physical Therapy

Physical therapy is a good treatment to maintain range of motion in patients with arachnoiditis. Appropriate therapies, including heat, ice, and massage will help patients retain their range of motion within a comfortable level. This helps improve and maintain a quality of life while managing the disease. Physical therapy exercises should be challenging without being painful. Successful therapy hinges upon clear and honest communication between patient and therapist. Patients must follow all instructions precisely, and give accurate feedback about how they feel and how therapy is helping or not helping their daily activities. They should also be open to trying new therapeutic techniques, but be honest if it really takes them out of their comfort zone. Therapists will work with patients closely to find the most effective plan for their condition.
