Hot Tubs Oceanside, CA– Portable Spa Dealer Publishes Tips for Juvenile Arthritis Awareness Month

OCEANSIDE, Calif. - July 29, 2013 - PRLog -- Oceanside, CA 92057 – Carddine Spas, BBQs and Patio with hot tub and gas grill showrooms in San Diego, San Marcos and Temecula is proud to participate in Juvenile Arthritis Awareness Month. Carddine is publishing “The Best 3 Ways to Help Children Deal with Arthritis” and offering free hydrotherapy test soaks in their three San Diego locations.

“It is hard for kids to deal with juvenile arthritis. There are both physical and mental issues that arise from a long-term illness that have to be addressed,” said Julian Sanchez, president of Carddine.  “While parents can do many things to resolve certain problems, they can’t do it all.”

“Giving the child the ability to deal with the disease in their own way helps them gain independence and emotional power,” continued Sanchez.  Here are the best 3 ways to help children deal with arthritis:

Don’t Talk Down to Them - Of course, the age of the child will determine what and how you can talk to them about their illness, but never pretend it doesn’t exist, or try to downplay the severity. Children are young, but that doesn’t mean they are dumb. They know there is something wrong. If they are going to deal with the problem, they need to know what the problem is.

Having knowledge will help children cope with juvenile arthritis. It will also help them convey their problems with their peers.

Make sure children always feel comfortable talking about their feelings and illness. Even when they know what is wrong with them, and what it means for their lives, they may still have anger or sadness that needs to be discussed and dealt with.

Give them Control - Nothing is worse for anyone than feeling they have no control over their own situation. Even children begin to feel helpless and frustrated if they don’t have any say in their lives, especially when dealing with illness.

Let each child have some say over how they are treated. If they like certain types of treatments, give them the ability to choose that as often as possible. Of course, it is important to make sure they get the necessary treatments even when they are not fun, or they don’t feel good. However, if at all possible, discuss those treatments such as drugs or physical therapy and why they will be a good thing even if they aren’t always pleasant.

Give them the Tools - There are tools parents can provide to help children deal with arthritis. A hot tub is one of the easiest of these tools to provide. Hot tubs have many ways to help kids who suffer with arthritis that any other single tool will not have.

A hot tub combines the helpful buoyancy of a pool with the added heat of a hot pack and adds massage through strong jets. The buoyancy of water is a great relief for sore joints affected by arthritis. It takes away the weight that stresses muscles and joints. Water also creates an easier exercise environment.

Doctors often prescribe light exercises to help with juvenile arthritis. Doing them in water is easier and more effective.

The heat soothes sore muscles and also promotes healing by increasing blood flow to injured areas. The swirling water adds to the relaxation of muscles and helps increase the development of synovial fluid that lubricates joints.
