Types of Arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis
A chronic inflammatory autoimmune condition impacts not only your painful joints but also your overall health.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) can lead to joint damage over time, as the body's immune system mistakenly attacks healthy synovial (joint lining) tissue. This not only causes pain and swelling but can also result in deformities and loss of function..
Ankylosing Spondylitis
This inflammatory arthritis can lead to vertebrae fusion in the spine, causing painful, limiting symptoms.
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) primarily affects the spine but can also impact other joints in the body. The condition often begins in early adulthood and is more common in men. The hallmark of AS is chronic pain and stiffness in the lower back, which is typically worse in the morning or after prolonged periods of inactivity.
Psoriatic Arthritis
Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is an inflammatory form of arthritis that occurs in some individuals with psoriasis, a skin condition characterized by red patches of skin covered with thick, silvery scales. PsA can affect joints in various ways, leading to pain, stiffness, and potential damage.
Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most prevalent form of arthritis, particularly affecting older adults, although it can also occur in younger individuals due to previous joint damage or genetics. This degenerative joint disease results from the gradual breakdown of cartilage, leading to pain, stiffness, and inflammation.
As the cartilage deteriorates, bones may begin to rub against each other, causing a bony growth called osteophytes, which exacerbates discomfort and limits mobility.
Gout
Gout is a type of inflammatory arthritis characterized by the accumulation of uric acid crystals in the joints, particularly affecting the big toe. It manifests as sudden, severe attacks of pain, swelling, and redness, often occurring at night. Various factors, including dietary choices, alcohol consumption, dehydration, and certain medications, can trigger these episodes.
Individuals with gout may experience recurrent episodes, leading to chronic pain and joint damage if left untreated. It is essential to manage this condition not only to alleviate immediate pain but also to prevent future flare-ups and complications.
Chiropractic Care for Arthritis Pain
Chiropractic care works by focusing on your body’s alignment and addressing imbalances that may exacerbate arthritis symptoms. By improving the connection between the nervous system and the spine, chiropractic treatment helps reduce stress on joints and enhance overall mobility.
Chiropractic treatment for arthritis helps alleviate discomfort and promotes long-term joint health, ensuring you stay active and pain-free.
Reducing Inflammation and Enhancing Mobility
Chiropractic care can help relieve arthritis pain by addressing joint discomfort and misalignments contributing to discomfort.
Chiropractors use a gentle, noninvasive therapy called chiropractic adjustments. These gentle adjustments can improve joint mobility, reduce inflammation, and alleviate nerve pressure. As a result, patients experience less pain and a better range of motion.
Supporting Joint Health Through Targeted Adjustments
Chiropractic adjustments improve body alignment and reduce joint stress and inflammation caused by poor posture, repetitive movements, or injuries. Spinal adjustments help create a healthier environment, potentially preventing risk factors of arthritis.
Chiropractic care reduces inflammation, alleviates pain from joint conditions, and helps you regain mobility. It can be frustrating when joints become misaligned or restricted.
Chiropractic adjustments help provide relief by improving flexibility and range of motion. This is important for anyone involved in sports or physical activities to achieve the highest performance and prevent injuries.
Techniques for Long-Term Pain Relief
Spinal Manipulation
This is an effective treatment used to treat arthritis, which involves applying controlled force to the joints in the spine to enhance mobility and relieve pain.
Mobilization
A gentler technique than spinal manipulation that involves slow and controlled movements to stretch and mobilize the joints, as it increases flexibility and decreases stiffness without causing pain.
Therapeutic Exercise
Therapeutic exercises that help to strengthen muscles, improve flexibility, and support joint function. We may recommend exercises depending on your needs to help manage your arthritis symptoms and prevent further joint disease.
