Chiropractic Care for Arthritis — Gentle Relief, Improved Function
Understanding Arthritis & Chiropractic
Arthritis—like the osteoarthritis commonly impacting knees and other joints—can cause pain, stiffness, and mobility issues. At Action Chiropractic Center, our goal is to reduce symptoms and slow progression through personalized chiropractic treatments that improve joint mechanics and movement.
How Chiropractic Supports Arthritis Management
- Restores Joint Mobility
Manual adjustments help restore proper motion to arthritic joints, improving flexibility and reducing stiffness. - Reduces Pain Naturally
By aligning joints and easing tension, chiropractic care provides pain relief without relying on medications, offering a safer alternative. - Supports Nervous System Function
Adjustments help improve nerve communication, reducing pain signaling and enhancing overall function. - Enhances Strength & Activity Tolerance
Chiropractic care often includes exercises that strengthen muscles around joints, enabling patients to return to meaningful activity with ease. - Offers a Holistic, Personalized Approach
Care plans are tailored to each patient’s condition, lifestyle, and goals—making treatment safer and more effective.
Safety and Suitability: What You Should Know
- Osteoarthritis: Chiropractic care is generally safe and can offer relief when applied gently and appropriately.
- Inflammatory Forms of Arthritis (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis): These require careful evaluation, especially during flare-ups—in some cases, manual adjustments should be avoided.
Complementary Armenian Pain Management Strategies
- Soft Tissue Therapies – Techniques such as myofascial release, massage, or physiotherapy support joint health and muscular balance.
- Therapeutic Exercise – Low-impact movement helps improve joint strength, flexibility, and balance.
- Lifestyle Adjustments – Nutrition, weight control, posture, and ergonomics all play a key role in supporting joint alignment and alleviating symptoms.
