Chiropractic Treatment for Degenerative Joint Disease (Osteoarthritis)

Chiropractic Restoration and Management of Osteoarthritis

 

Osteoarthritis can affect any joint in the body

“Whether chiropractic is beneficial for helping with someone’s arthritis, I think first it’s important that we identify the type of arthritis that we’re talking about. And we’re just going to talk about the most common arthritis that affects millions of people, which is osteoarthritis.

Now, osteoarthritis is most commonly found in the spinal column, the hands, the knees, and the hips, but it can affect really any joint in the body. And because it’s a mechanical wearing—or a wear and tear arthritis of the cartilage on the ends of the joints themselves—the restoration of the normal movement and alignments of whatever joint we’re talking about (and maybe in this instance the spinal column) can absolutely help with arthritis, relieve pain, and decrease inflammation.

Depending on the severity of the arthritis, many times it can be reversed if it’s caught early.” – Dr. Christopher Lilja

Benefits of Chiropractic Care for Osteoarthritis

Because every individual suffering from Osteoarthritis experiences the condition differently, the benefits of chiropractic care in treating and managing symptoms of the degenerative joint disease will vary as well. Depending on your personal experience with Osteoarthritis pain and symptoms, chiropractic care and improved nutrition can help to:

• Relieve muscular, skeletal, and nervous tension
• Improve circulation throughout the body
• Increase range of motion in stiff areas
• Restore normal movement to the spine and other areas of the body
• Reduce pain

All of these symptoms will vary in intensity for everyone, and while some patients may experience full relief from one or all of these symptoms, others may experience a lowered intensity of pain or symptoms. If there are other symptoms of Osteoarthritis you’d like to see reduced or improved with chiropractic care, let us know, and we’ll let you know whether we can help!

Chiropractic Adjustments for Degenerative Joint Disease

Chiropractic care involves spinal adjustments which have multiple benefits for patients with Osteoarthritis. Chiropractic care methods are capable of relieving muscular and nervous tension throughout the body, improving circulation, increasing range of motion, and relieving pain and preventing pain.

Chiropractic spinal adjustments are particularly useful in ensuring your spine is properly aligned, which is important in improving posture and relieving tension in the spine that could be causing pain or other negative symptoms throughout the body.
