What Is Arthritis?

Arthritis is a general term used to describe pain, stiffness, and inflammation in the joints. There are over 100 different forms of arthritis. However, we often treat patients suffering from osteoarthritis, which is a degenerative joint condition. In osteoarthritis, the cartilage in the joints starts to break down. It can happen in any joint of the body. Other types of arthritis include gout or rheumatoid arthritis.

Along with pain and stiffness, there might also be decreased range of motion for the joints. You have an increased risk of developing arthritis if you have a family history of arthritis, suffer from obesity, or have had a previous joint injury. Women also have an increased risk of developing arthritis.

How Is Arthritis Diagnosed?

Arthritis is diagnosed through a combination of physical exams, blood tests, and X-rays. As there are different types of arthritis, it is vital to get an accurate diagnosis as the treatment and management of your arthritis might be specific to the condition you’re suffering from. We diagnose and treat arthritis at Skocik Chiropractic. Through our chiropractic care, you do not need painkillers or invasive procedures for optimal relief.  

Chiropractic Treatment of Arthritis

Different chiropractic methods can be employed to treat arthritis. Once your diagnosis is complete, our chiropractor will discuss the treatment options with you. This includes manual manipulation, which can help reduce inflammation and improve joint mobility. Our chiropractor can work on the affected area by gently manipulating the soft tissue to reduce inflammation and improve function in the affected joints. Our physical therapy can ease chronic pain and improve your mobility. We also guide you on an anti-inflammatory diet and corrective exercises to help with arthritis.
