Arthritis
Arthritis is a common condition that affects the joints, causing pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion. There are many different types of arthritis, but the most common types include osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriatic arthritis.
Chiropractic care can be an effective treatment option for arthritis, as it focuses on improving joint function, reducing inflammation, and promoting overall wellness. Here’s a closer look at how chiropractic care can help with each type of arthritis:
Osteoarthritis: Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease that occurs when the cartilage that cushions the joints breaks down over time, leading to bone-on-bone contact and joint pain. Chiropractic care for osteoarthritis typically involves spinal adjustments to improve joint mobility, as well as other manual therapies and exercises to reduce pain and inflammation.
Research shows that chiropractic care can be an effective treatment for osteoarthritis. A study published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics found that chiropractic care was effective in reducing pain and improving function in patients with knee osteoarthritis.

Rheumatoid arthritis: Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that causes inflammation and pain in the joints. Chiropractic care for rheumatoid arthritis typically involves spinal adjustments to improve joint mobility, as well as other manual therapies and exercises to reduce inflammation and improve function.
