Exercise recommendations for a child with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis

Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the most common form of arthritis in children. The child can’t move and run around normally due to joint pain and stiffness. 

The children suffering from JIA should be encouraged to perform aerobic and high-intensity exercises for at least 60 minutes daily. This improves their movement and helps to ease the stiffness.

Rheumatoid arthritis treatment in Pakistan includes the latest laser technology which is available at the clinics in vast cities of Pakistan. You can have laser treatment in Karachi, Peshawar, Islamabad or Rawalpindi.

HOW BIOFLEX HELPS IN CONTROLLING THE SYMPTOMS OF ARTHRITIS?

BioFlex laser technology is the Canadian technology that’s a pain-free, non-invasive and non-toxic solution that helps in reducing the morning stiffness associated with rheumatoid arthritis. Bioflex Laser technology relieves the painful symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis which is an autoimmune disorder. 

Various studies show the efficacy of laser therapy or rheumatoid arthritis. When a person completes the sessions of laser therapy, he or she feels the reduction in morning stiffness, reduced pain, no side effects, and long-lasting results. It improves the range of motion, improves flexibility, enhances the strength of the grip, and reduces swelling. 

The laser diodes are super luminous where they emit red/ infrared light over the affected joints, penetrate deeper into the inflamed tissues, and work on the cellular level to reduce inflammation. The absorbed light transforms into energy, where it promotes the biological healing process. The entire process of photobiomodulation activates the Cytochrome C oxidase, which enhances the production of ATP that results in a cascade of reactions. The increased ATP promotes DNA synthesis, generates the formation of new cells, regenerates tissues, and promotes anti-inflammatory mediators with collagen formation. 

All these cellular effects result in the reduction of pain and inflammation with improved joint functioning. So, get yourself connected with the team members of BioFlex in Pakistan and have yourself treated in the outstanding clinics at three central locations:
