What is Arthritis

Can Chiropractic Care Help with Arthritis?

If you are wondering whether chiropractic is right for your arthritis, the answer is often yes. While there's no cure to fully reverse arthritis-related damage, chiropractic can help reduce pain, improve function, and slow further joint stress. That's because chiropractic care focuses on spinal alignment and overall musculoskeletal health.

For osteoarthritis, chiropractic care offers several benefits:

• Improved Joint Mobility: Gentle adjustments help restore proper motion to stiff joints
• Reduced Pain: Proper alignment decreases joint stress and inflammation
• Enhanced Function: Better joint mechanics can improve your ability to perform daily activities
• Slowed Progression: Proper joint function may help slow further degeneration

For inflammatory conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, our approach is more cautious:

• We avoid manipulating actively inflamed joints
• Focus on surrounding areas to improve overall function
• Utilize gentle techniques to support the body's natural healing processes
• Offer complementary therapies to reduce inflammation naturally
  

Our Approach to Arthritis Relief and What to Expect

• Personalized Evaluation: Our approach to arthritis relief starts with understanding what you're really up against. That means discussing your medical history, your lifestyle and most importantly a pyschical examination to where you're feeling that joint pain. If you have inflammatory arthritis, we'll coordinate with your rheumatologist to ensure our care complements your medical treatment.
• Gentle Adjustments & Rehabilitation: Based on the evaluation, we create a plan that addresses your specific challenges. We use low-force spinal manipulations to realign the spine and take some of the pressure off those arthritic joints. We also put a lot of emphasis on rehabilitation: targeted exercises, stretching routines and postural guidance to keep your joints moving healthily.
• Soft tissue Manipulation: We don't just stop at adjustments. We incorporate soft tissue work, therapeutic exercises and other supportive techniques to reduce inflammation and help you move more easily and reduce risks of invasive surgeries and medication.
• Long-Term Management: Arthritis is a long-term condition that requires ongoing attention. We give you the tools and strategies you need to maintain your progress. That includes ergonomic recommendations and corrective exercises. Our goal is to empower you with sustainable habits that keep pain at bay and support active living.
