COOKEVILLE, Tenn. - July 23, 2013 - PRLog -- Cookeville, TN 38501 – Hot Spring Spas of Music City is participating in Juvenile Arthritis Awareness month this July.  “Arthritis is often thought of as an old person’s disease,” says Dennis Croteau, the company’s co-owner .  “But Juvenile Arthritis affects thousands of children every year.  Whether it lasts a few weeks or many years, arthritis can have both physical and psychological effects for young children,” continued Croteau.  

Here are 3 ways to help your child deal with the issues and difficulties of arthritis:

Help them Remember Medication - Very young children especially may have a hard time remembering to take medications on time. Since most medications require fairly precise timing, this is a big issue for parents to conquer.

The best way to keep track of whether a child is taking their medications on time is to be there when they do. Scheduling the timing of medications around activities so the child is at home when medications should be taken is the easiest way to accomplish the task. However, it is not always possible, especially as children get older and their days become filled with afterschool activities.

Keep a calendar with medications laid out in an easy to read format so kids can keep up with what they should be taking and when. Putting them in charge of their own medications can be a little overwhelming for them. Make sure they always know that they have one, or both, parents watching to be sure they are staying on track as much as possible.

Give them a watch with a timer, or set the alarm on their cell phone if they have one. This is a great way to alert them and remind them of their medication times.

Develop a Network - One of the most problematic issues of dealing with a disease such as juvenile arthritis is the stigma and pressures from other kids. Talk to teachers and other parents to let them know what medical issues the child is dealing with. Having other adults around to support them can help children deal with the pressures of their peers and keep them on track with their medications.

Keeping school officials apprised of the situation will also help kids deal with the pain of getting around in difficult situations. Stairs and long walks between classes can be particularly difficult for kids suffering with arthritis. Teachers, school nurses and school officials can minimize the strategic difficulties of school life.

Soothing Soaks - Add a hot tub to your home for soothing, therapeutic relief from arthritis pain. The hot water in a hot tub is relaxing and enjoyable, but it has many therapeutic factors for kids suffering with arthritis as well.

Director of Aquatic Health Benefits Research at the National Swimming Pool Foundation, Dr. Bruce Becker created a catalog of studies showing the positive effects of water flow and buoyancy on the body. The heat of the water dilates blood vessels for better blood flow. The buoyancy of the water takes the pressure off of sore, painful joints. The massaging effects of the water soothe sore muscles and joints. Even a minimal amount of time in a hot tub every day can help increase the production of synovial fluid and lubricate the joints. This decreases the severe pain associated with arthritis.

To help educate the public on how hydrotherapy can help improve their overall health and well-being, Hot Spring Spas of Music City will provide free hot tub test soaks in their two locations during the entire month.  Consumers should call us ahead of time to schedule their free thirty-minute soak so they can check out the benefits for themselves.
