Similarly to the way in which they chiropractic adjustment the spine, they can also adjust the joints to relieve tension and promote efficient function. If this sounds a little intimidating, don’t fret. It generally doesn’t hurt, but instead helps many patients find almost immediate relief
Arthritis is a painful condition of the joints and cartilage. A cycle of pain and mobility loss is associated with arthritis. It works like this:
- You have joint pain
- Joint pain causes you to move less
- Because you move less, you have less mobility
- As you lose mobility, your arthritis worsens
- You have more joint pain
- And on and on
Chiropractic works against this vicious cycle. Your chiropractor’s goal is to improve mobility and eliminate pain through chiropractic adjustments
