What Is Arthritis?
Arthritis is a common condition that causes inflammation and pain in the joints, affecting your ability to move freely and comfortably. With over 100 different types of arthritis, it’s a leading cause of disability that affects millions of people worldwide. The most common forms of arthritis are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, and these can lead to stiffness, swelling, and joint pain, which can worsen over time if left untreated. It’s important to seek proper care to manage your symptoms and maintain a healthy, active lifestyle.
Common Symptoms of Arthritis:
- Joint pain and tenderness
- Swelling and inflammation around the joints
- Stiffness, especially after periods of inactivity
- Reduced range of motion in affected joints
- Warmth or redness in the joint area
- Fatigue and weakness (more common in rheumatoid arthritis)
- Cracking or grinding sounds during joint movement
- Difficulty performing daily tasks or movements
- Loss of flexibility in the affected joints
- Deformity in severe cases, particularly in fingers or knees
How Does Chiropractic Care Help With Arthritis?
Chiropractic care for arthritis focuses on improving joint function and reducing inflammation through manual adjustments and therapeutic techniques. By realigning the spine and other joints, chiropractic adjustments help restore proper joint movement, reduce pressure on affected areas, and improve biomechanics. This helps relieve pain and enhances mobility and flexibility, which are often limited by arthritis. Chiropractic adjustments can also stimulate the body’s natural healing process by improving circulation and reducing inflammation in arthritic joints.
Additionally, chiropractic care promotes joint health by addressing muscle imbalances and tension that can worsen arthritis symptoms. Soft tissue therapies, stretching exercises, and lifestyle recommendations are often integrated into treatment plans to help reduce stiffness and improve the range of motion. Chiropractic care provides a non-invasive, drug-free approach to managing arthritis, relieving chronic pain while supporting long-term joint health.
