Chiropractic Care for Arthritis Relief

We offer chiropractic care for arthritis relief. Our chiropractor will assess your range of motion and the effects of your arthritis. He will then advise you on how an adjustment and lifestyle changes can help you manage arthritis.

Chiropractic adjustments helps to correct posture issues and relieve unnecessary stress on discs, muscles, and nerves in the back, as well as on other areas of your body suffering from discomfort.

Adjustments also improve function and reduce inflammation of arthritic areas, helping your body with relief from arthritis pain.

What Causes Arthritis?

Causes of arthritis are unique to the form of the disease that you have.

For example, rheumatoid arthritis stems from infections or environmental factors. Your genetics may cause antibodies that fight infections or diseases to attack other things like your cartilage, which develops into arthritis pain.

Osteoarthritis is another form of the disease and is identified by redness, inflammation, and heat in the joints. As your cartilage wears away, and osteoarthritis develops further, your joints degenerate and raw bones rub on each other, leading to more pain.

If you have post-traumatic arthritis, it likely developed after a fracture or joint dislocation. When your body secretes certain hormones following an injury, it can cause cartilage cells to breakdown.

Types of Arthritis

You may be experiencing one of the four most prevalent forms of arthritis, which include:

• Osteoarthritis: The most common type, and it’s also referred to as degenerative joint disease. Your cartilage wears away over time, and in extreme cases, it completely disappears.
• Rheumatoid arthritis: The disease develops as your immune system attacks healthy joints, organs, and tissues. In severe arthritis pain cases, rheumatoid arthritis can deform or even change a joint permanently.
• Post-traumatic arthritis: This type develops after a joint injury. Tendonitis or ligament tears may occur instantly, or well after the initial injury.
• Psoriatic arthritis: This arthritic condition occurs when psoriasis escalates and affects the joints (typically, in the fingers and toes). If your spine is affected, back pain will occur in addition to other joint pain.
