Chiropractic Osteoarthritis Treatment

As we age, the wear and tear to our bodies can start to show and even a slight loss of proper movement in a worn joint may cause painful nerve irritation and inflammation. Pain from arthritis and joint inflammation can be eased with chiropractic osteoarthritis treatment.

How can chiropractic osteoarthritis treat my pain?

Arthritis, spondylitis or rheumatics are names normally given to the pain and stiffness resulting from wear and tear to your joints and a chiropractic appointment can often relieve the pain. There are some types of arthritis such as rheumatoid arthritis that also involve periods of inflammation and destruction of the joints causing severe pain. Although chiropractors cannot treat the cause of this kind of arthritis, they can help relieve the disability and discomfort that result from it once the inflammatory phase is over.

What will the treatment be like?

Just like age, the degeneration of your joints cannot be reversed. However, our BCA chiropractors can help improve your muscle and joint function and reduce irritation. After a full examination, including discussing your case history and taking X-rays, we will give you a diagnosis and appropriate treatment. The osteoarthritis treatment usually involves gentle and specific hand movements to ease the pain and reduce inflammation. We will also give you advice on how changes to your exercise regime, diet and posture can help support your osteoarthritis treatment. Chiropractic treatment of osteoarthritis can also mean your body will be more resilient to further damage.
