Joint Pain 

Joint pain can be debilitating, and if left untreated, can reduce both your range of motion as well as your mobility. The chronic pain often associated with joint pain can also have a negative impact on your overall quality of life. There are many joint pain treatment options available that can be used to start the healing process and allow you to regain your strength and flexibility naturally. Chiropractic care involves working with your chiropractor to find effective treatment methods that work for you.

Causes of Joint Pain

Joint pain can have several causes. Chronic conditions like arthritis, degenerative bone disease, and fibromyalgia are some of the most common. Joint pain can also be the result of an injury that is stress or sports-related. Work-related injuries that are the result of constant, repetitive movements are also extremely common. Many of these causes can be easily prevented, but they do occur. This is where chiropractic care can help. The treatment options offered through chiropractic care work to strengthen and rejuvenate the body.

Joint Pain Treatment

There are two types of joint pain. Acute pain is sharp and deep and is most often felt right when an injury occurs. Treating this type of joint pain often includes the use of R.I.C.E. This mnemonic acronym stands for Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevate. Once the injury begins to heal, you can start to strengthen the area by using physical therapy exercises and through nutritional counseling by giving the body everything it needs to regenerate itself.

The chronic pain that is caused by degenerative conditions like arthritis is treated somewhat differently.  With these types of conditions, chiropractic adjustments, physical therapy, deep tissue massage, and nutritional support are used to strengthen the area. Mild to moderate exercise keep the joint flexible and also maintains flexibility and mobility.
