Chiropractic Treatment for Degenerative Joint Disease (Osteoarthritis)

When you’re struggling with degenerative joint disease, or Osteoarthritis, there are good days and bad days. There are days when you feel like your old self, and then there are days when you just feel old. If you’re looking for a natural Osteoarthritis treatment that will help to relieve and manage the symptoms of degenerative joint disease, chiropractic care could be the solution you’re looking for. At the St. Paul Chiropractic and Natural Medicine Center, our St. Paul, MN chiropractors are experienced in treating Osteoarthritis using the best chiropractic care methods possible, creating individualized treatment plans for each patient we treat. With chiropractic spinal adjustments and supplementation, we can help you prevent the onset of Osteoarthritis symptoms so that your bad days aren’t so bad, and your good days are much more frequent.

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.
