Arthritis
Arthritis is a condition that impacts the joints, often causing discomfort, stiffness, and inflammation. It’s one of the most common causes of limited mobility, affecting millions of people across the country. While it can develop at any age, arthritis is seen most frequently in older adults.
There are many forms of arthritis.
The most common type, osteoarthritis, is typically the result of gradual wear and tear on the joints. Other forms include rheumatoid arthritis, lupus‑related joint issues, and gout—each with its own unique triggers and symptoms.
Who Is at Greater Risk?
Certain factors can increase the likelihood of developing arthritis, including:
● Being overweight or obese
● A family history of joint problems
● Previous injuries or trauma to the joints
Traditional care may include medication, surgery, or physical therapy. Many people also choose to explore natural approaches—such as chiropractic care—to help manage their symptoms.
How Chiropractic May Help
Chiropractic care takes a gentle, non‑invasive approach to improving joint health.
By carefully adjusting the spine and affected joints, chiropractors can help:
● Reduce stiffness and swelling
● Improve overall range of motion
●Relieve discomfort in areas affected by arthritis
