Can Chiropractic Help with Osteoarthritis?
Chiropractic care has been shown to address the cause of osteoarthritis. A joint may have been damaged for an extended period of time because it is out of alignment, or because the way you sit or walk. Chiropractic care works to fix those issues which may keep your arthritic symptoms from getting worse.
How Chiropractic Care Works
Chiropractic works on the proven and tested theory that your nervous system works best when the bones in your spine are properly aligned. Not only with this benefit your muscles and joints, but all the systems of the body. It is primarily a treatment for muscoskeletal problems.
Chiropractic is manual therapy. Chiropractors use their hands and special instruments to deliver gentle non-invasive treatments without prescribing medications or surgery.
Chiropractic Care and Joint Problems
Some types of joint problems may limit what your chiropractor can do. Spinal manipulation should not be used on joints that are inflamed or infected. It also shouldn’t be done on people with weak bones, as it can cause a fracture.
But other techniques chiropractors use, such as joint mobilization and soft-tissue therapies, may be used safely. Damage to a joint can cause a domino effect of tightness and spasms in the surrounding muscles, ligaments, and other tissues. Working on those can relieve your pain.
The cause of your joint pain will determine whether chiropractic care might be helpful.
