Can chiropractors provide relief from osteoarthritis?

Osteoarthritis is degeneration of cartilage of one or several joints in your body. The main symptoms of arthritis include joint pain and stiffness, which typically worsen with age. Osteoarthritis is most common in individuals over 60 but it is not uncommon for patients in their 50’s, 40’s or even 30’s to come into our Chatswood clinic seeking relief from the pain and lack of movement associated with osteoarthritis.

Chiropractic care has been a good way to help manage arthritis for many years. Many people suffering from arthritis wisely consider chiropractic care as an effective means of relieving pain and other symptoms of arthritis.

The treatment options used in chiropractic care do not involve any pharmaceutical drugs or surgical incisions. Many patients prefer being treated using chiropractic adjustments and other approaches prior to taking any medication, knowing that pain relief medications can produce side effects that are considered harmful to the body in the long term.

If you have arthritis of the hips, knees, shoulders or another area of the body, Body Therapy Chiropractic can work with you to develop an effective treatment program through chiropractic care.

Although there are no cures for osteoarthritis, chiropractic care can significantly alleviate many of your symptoms and slow the condition from progressing. Research shows that chiropractic care is effective for a number of arthritis conditions affecting the neck, lower back, knees, hips, and wrists.

A significant source of pain in people with arthritis spawns from diminished functioning from fixated joints. Chiropractic adjustments and regular exercise can improve mobility in the affected joints to prevent pain. Certain foods and supplements can also assist in decreasing inflammation.

Dr. James Zheng (Chiropractor) uses chiropractic adjustments, counseling and exercise therapy to reduce pain and restore function for his patients suffering from arthritis. He will work with you to provide non-invasive, effective management of your arthritic condition.
