Chiropractic Care for Arthritis
Many people are surprised to learn that arthritis can occur at any age. While the condition is most common in older adults, it can affect anyone. Here, we'll explore the causes and symptoms of arthritis, as well as how chiropractic adjustments can play a role in helping you live a life with fewer arthritis symptoms. At Universal Chiropractic in Mississauga, our chiropractors are here to work with you and provide the arthritis and joint pain relief that you need to live well.
What is Arthritis?
Generally, the term arthritis refers to problems within the joints. Osteoarthritis is a natural part of the aging process for many people, while rheumatoid arthritis and gout are different types of arthritis that can be attributed to factors other than aging.
Symptoms of Arthritis
Arthritis can present differently in various people. Typically, joint pain and joint stiffness are the most common symptoms among those living with arthritis. Some people who have arthritis find that they experience good days and bad days, and factors like the weather and stress levels can influence the severity of their symptoms.
How a Chiropractor Can Help
When you make an appointment with a chiropractor for help with your arthritis symptoms, we'll ask you several questions to learn more about your condition. We'll also inquire about your lifestyle to see if we can pinpoint small changes that you could make in your daily life to alleviate some of your symptoms.
If our chiropractors determine that chiropractic treatment is suitable for your needs, you may be able to have your first adjustment immediately after your initial consultation. Sometimes, joints are damaged over time due to misalignment. Chiropractic adjustments may be able to ease some of the stress on your joints, alleviating some of your arthritis symptoms.
Each time you come into the office for a chiropractic adjustment, we'll discuss the progress of your arthritis symptoms with you. If necessary, we'll make changes to your individualized treatment plan to ensure that you continue to make progress toward a life with less pain.
