CardioFlex supports Palm Beach Arthritis Foundation Event

At CardioFlex physical therapy focuses on the body’s ability to engage in movement. Movement can be anything from getting in and out of chairs to climbing stairs, walking in your neighborhood, playing a sport or doing recreational activities. Over 50 million Americans have arthritis, making it the number one cause of disability in the country. That means 1 in every 5 adults will have mobility limitations. CardioFlex outpatient clinic in Davie offers Physical Therapy for Arthritis. This is why CardioFlex Therapy is proud to sponsor and support The Magic of Caring Brunch and Fashion Show on Sunday April 8th, at The Marriot in Palm Beach Gardens.

Our mission is to raise awareness for juvenile arthritis (JA) while raising critical funds to support families living with arthritis and rheumatic disease. This magical, heart-warming event features juvenile arthritis (JA) champions, ages 3-17, leaving their arthritis pain behind as they become “models for the day.”  Guests of all ages will enjoy a delicious family-friendly brunch and Silent Auction along with the power of giving back to the community.

If you wish to contribute or participate in this community event contact Kim Marlow – Executive Director 954-271-2981 or email kmarlow@arthritis.org

The goals of physical therapy in arthritis include improving the mobility and restoring the use of affected joints, increasing strength to support the joints, and maintaining fitness and the ability to perform daily activities. CardioFlex Therapy is prepared to help you manage your arthritis with the best physical therapists and treatments available.

All About TMJ

Did you know that at CardioFlex Therapy in Davie, we have specialized treatment programs for a wide variety of conditions? One of our most popular treatment programs is for TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) disorder.

You may be wondering what a TMJ disorder even is. Surprisingly, approximately 12% of people in the United States will experience TMJ disorders in their lifetime. TMJ tends to affect more women than men and can be commonly associated with symptoms of jaw pain or an unusual popping or clicking of the jaw while talking or eating.

Those affected by TMJ will most often note the restriction of jaw movement which can cause severe discomfort. Some individuals may experience a subset of TMJ symptoms including head or back aches, migraines, and ear issues like buzzing, ringing, numbness, or pain that may spread to the cheeks.

The TMJ connects the mandible (lower jaw) to the temporal bone (skull). Likewise, specific key muscles used for chewing are attached to the mandible and may become sore with a TMJ disorder.

It is difficult to attribute TMJ disorders to any one cause. Moreover, TMJ disorders may be caused by:

• grinding or clenching of teeth while sleeping
• physical injury
• arthritis
• dental surgery
• autoimmune diseases
• infections
• environmental, genetic, or hormonal factors

Luckily, TMJ disorders are common and can be treated at home or by one of our professionals at CardioFlex Therapy in Davie, Florida. We recommend you first try some simple, lifestyle changes to possibly correct the concern. It all breaks down to rest: if you reduce movement and rest the jaw, changes may occur:

• Avoid chewing gum & tensing your jaw.
• Try to eat soft foods and lightly massage or practice stretching the jaw.
• Wear a mouth guard at night if you tend to clench your teeth.

If you are still experiencing discomfort, please call us at 954-693-9090 or stop by our facility for a consultation. Our professionals will arrange an individualized approach to correct your TMJ and help you manage the pain associated with it.
