What is Osteoarthritis?

Osteoarthritis, also known as osteoarthrosis, is a degenerative joint disease where the cartilage in the joints gradually breaks down. This leads to pain, stiffness, and limited movement. It is the most common form of arthritis and primarily affects older adults, although younger people can also experience it due to injury or overuse.

Symptoms of Osteoarthritis

The symptoms of osteoarthritis vary, but the most common are:

  • Joint pain: Especially after movement or at the end of the day.
  • Stiffness: Particularly noticeable after periods of rest, such as in the morning after waking up.
  • Reduced mobility: Limited range of motion in the affected joints.
  • Swelling and tenderness: In and around the joints.
  • Creaking or grinding: Feeling or sound of the joint during movement.

How Can Chiropractic Help with Osteoarthritis?

Chiropractic offers a natural and non-invasive approach to managing osteoarthritis. Here are some ways our chiropractic care can contribute to your well-being:

Improved Joint Function

Through targeted chiropractic adjustments (manipulations), we can improve joint mobility, reduce pain, and optimize joint function. This can help make daily activities easier and less painful.

Pain Reduction

Our chiropractic treatments focus on restoring the proper alignment of the spine and joints, which can help relieve pressure on the nerves and reduce pain. Regular treatments can assist in managing chronic pain associated with osteoarthritis.

Enhanced Muscle Function

In addition to joint adjustments, we also offer therapies aimed at strengthening and stretching the muscles around the affected joints. This can help improve joint stability and support, thereby reducing the load on the joints.

Health Advice and Lifestyle Guidance

Our chiropractors can also advise you on lifestyle and dietary adjustments that can help manage osteoarthritis. This may include weight management to reduce joint stress, as well as exercises to keep the joints flexible and strong.
