Can Chiropractic Relieve Arthritis Pain?

Arthritis: you’ve heard of it before, but do you know what it actually is? Arthritis is a common – though often misunderstood – disease. It is defined as in inflammation of one or more joints which can cause discomfort, stiffness, and pain throughout the joints and body. Common symptoms experienced by those with arthritis include joint swelling, stiffness, pain, and decreased range of motion – all of which typically worsen with age. If you suffer from arthritis, chiropractic may be able to help.

What is arthritis?

Arthritis is not, in actuality, a single disease. There are over 100 types of arthritis with varying severities and it affects over 40 million people which makes it the number one cause of disability in the US. That is some pretty overwhelming information, so we are going to focus on two types of arthritis that respond well the chiropractic care.

  1. Osteoarthritis: a degenerative disorder that occurs when flexible tissue at the ends of the bones wears down

  2. Rheumatoid arthritis: a chronic inflammatory disorder of the joints

Both of these types of arthritis respond well to a combination of chiropractic care and self-care. With those two steps as your first line of defense, you can find pain relief and manage discomfort.

How can chiropractic care help?

If you are looking for a natural, non-invasive, safe, and effective alternative to prescription drugs, chiropractic is a great choice. The doctors at Healthy Life Chiropractic will provide you with gentle, non-addictive therapies including chiropractic adjustments and massage therapy. Adjustments remove misalignments and joint restrictions from the spine and body. The goal is to improve the function of the affected joints and nervous system and reduce inflammation. By improving overall nervous system function and spinal health and increasing joint mobility, your body will be better able to manage symptoms caused by osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

Patient Reviews

"I was experiencing a lot of pain in my feet following the birth of my son. I was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis in both feet. After seeing my PCP and being prescribed anti-inflammatory medication, I looked into the benefits of Chiropractic care. I was in so much pain from the plantar fasciitis that is because difficult for me to walk. I was unable to carry my newborn and walk because I was concerned for his safety. As part of my care plan, custom orthotics were recommended. Within days of receiving my orthotics I had a reduction in my pain. Regular Chiropractic visits and my orthotics have allowed me to be able to care for my son again!"

"I worked for Wal-Mart for 20 years walking on hard floors 10 hours a day. I felt a horrible pain in my right hip/buttocks area and could not bend or walk. My sister did a little research and recommended Healthy Life Chiropractic- They do EVERYTHING! After the first treatment, the pain was gone! After being educated on my problems, they worked on my whole body and it feels 100% better. I have never been a good sleeper, but I am sleeping much better and get up in the morning ready to go! I have never felt better!"

- Michael Chambers

"My daughter came in to see Dr. Rob for possible curve in her spine. She was officially diagnosed with scoliosis after her evaluation. As parents, we were having a hard time wrapping out heads around what that meant for our beautiful 8 year old girl. Dr. Rob, Dr. Tina, and the whole staff at Healthy Life Chiropractic have been phenomenal! After 2 months of treatment- regular adjustments and exercises- we are seeing a huge improvement! Her hips are aligned now, her feet meet properly, and she is feeling better all around. We haven’t retaken her x-rays yet- not until we’ve done treatment for a whole year- but based off our experience, and results we’ve seen so far, I am confident that her curve has not gotten worse and has probably even improved!"

- Margaret Wearne

"I began my chiropractic care in October 2017 because of increased pain and decreased mobility in my left hip that had gotten increasingly worse over the previous 4-5 months. I love that I have been able benefit from whole body treatment that in turn has almost completely taken away the issues I was experiencing with my hip. I am so grateful for feeling good again and I highly recommend Healthy Life for your chiropractic care and total life wellness."

After driving several hundred miles a week and spending time on the computer for work, I not only get regular adjustments, I utilize the massage therapists as well.
