Arthritis Chiropractor

Arthritis is a common and often debilitating condition that affects 24% of adults in the United States. It is characterized by inflammation and stiffness in the joints, causing pain, a reduced range of motion, and a decreased quality of life. 

 

At ChiropracticUSA, our arthritis chiropractor can help relieve pain from different types of arthritis with non-invasive techniques like spinal manipulations. 

 

What is Arthritis?

Arthritis is a range of joint diseases that cause inflammation of one or more joints, resulting in discomfort and stiffness that can affect your entire body. Typical symptoms include joint pain, swelling, and reduced mobility, which worsen with age.

 

There are over 100 forms of arthritis, including psoriatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and osteoarthritis. Chiropractic care is ideal for managing rheumatoid arthritis, caused by the immune system attacking your body’s joints, causing inflammation. It can also benefit those with osteoarthritis caused by limited joint function and mobility.

Chiropractic care offers an effective approach to managing and reducing pain associated with arthritis. It provides arthritis patients with a safe, non-addictive, and non-invasive alternative to over-the-counter pain medications (OTCs) and prescription opioids often used for pain management by primary care physicians.

 

Chiropractors use gentle, non-invasive therapies, including chiropractic adjustments and

These treatments target joint restrictions or misalignments in the spine and other areas of the body to reduce inflammation and enhance joint function. 

 

By improving joint mobility and optimizing nervous system function and spinal health, chiropractic care equips your body to better cope with symptoms caused by osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis.
