Understanding Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis (OA) happens when the cartilage in your joints is damaged or wears down. Once this happens, your bones rub together when you use the joint, causing pain and discomfort. It’s a progressive and degenerative joint disease, meaning it can worsen over time.

While OA is a type of arthritis, there are two types of osteoarthritis: 

  • Primary osteoarthritis is the most common form of osteoarthritis. You can develop osteoarthritis over time through the normal wear and tear that happens as you age.
  • Secondary osteoarthritis is caused by injury or trauma. It can happen when your joints are damaged by sports injuries or car accidents.

Other forms of arthritis, like rheumatoid arthritis, gout, and psoriatic arthritis, can also cause osteoarthritis.

Certain risk factors also increase the odds of developing osteoarthritis:

  • Obesity
  • Diabetes
  • Having high cholesterol
  • Certain autoimmune disorders

What Are the Symptoms of Osteoarthritis?

Joint pain is the most common osteoarthritis symptom, particularly if the pain happens while you move the joint. Other symptoms of osteoarthritis include:

  • Joint stiffness
  • Swelling near the joint
  • Decreased range of motion
  • The joint doesn’t feel as strong or stable as usual
  • Joint deformity

Osteoarthritis is more common in people over 60 and often happens in the knees, spine, hips, and fingers

Benefits of Chiropractic Care for Osteoarthritis

Because osteoarthritis is a progressive, degenerative joint disease, there is no cure. However, chiropractic adjustments and care can help you manage the symptoms and provide pain relief.

  • Reduce inflammation. Inflammation in the joints often leads to pain. Treating osteoarthritis with chiropractic can reduce inflammation and provide pain relief.
  • Increase mobility. Joints with osteoarthritis are often stiff and difficult to move. Chiropractic care and adjustments can increase joint mobility and improve your range of motion.
  • Improve biomechanics. Your practitioner can recommend exercises and stretches that increase your strength and flexibility while teaching you how to move properly to protect your joints.
  • Natural pain relief. Though over-the-counter medications can reduce the discomfort caused by osteoarthritis, not everyone wants to rely on them for pain relief. Chiropractic can provide pain-free relief for achy joints.
  • Lifestyle improvements. Some risk factors are manageable, and your chiropractor can help you make lifestyle choices that reduce the risk of developing OA.

Our Customized Approach to Osteoarthritis Care

At Flourish Chiropractic Spa, we adopt a holistic and personalized approach to your care. While we can’t cure your osteoarthritis, we can improve your symptoms, relieve pain, and help restore range of motion to your joints so you can live a healthier life. Our process includes:

  • Comprehensive Assessment: Conduct a thorough examination to determine the extent of your osteoarthritis and how it’s interfering with your overall health and lifestyle.
  • Personalized Treatment Plan: Develop a customized plan that addresses your pain and health goals.
  • Chiropractic Care and Adjustments: Perform precise adjustments to relieve pain without exacerbating your existing problems.
  • Therapeutic Exercises: Provide targeted exercises to build strength and increase flexibility and range of motion.
  • Lifestyle Advice: Offer guidance on posture, ergonomics, and other lifestyle factors to support your recovery.
  • Ongoing Support: Ensure continuous care and follow-up to monitor your progress and adjust your chiropractic treatment as needed.

Complementing Therapies

Chiropractic care and adjustments are only part of your overall treatment plan. Flourish Chiropractic Spa offers a range of complementary therapies to support your care and help you live a full life:

  • Joint pain care. While some pain may be caused by your osteoarthritis, other issues such as tennis elbow, bursitis, or even tendinitis can create similar pain and discomfort in other joints.
  • Massage therapy. Soft tissue manipulation can alleviate the stress and chronic pain associated with osteoarthritis.
  • Pain relief. You may experience other types of pain that are indirectly caused by your osteoarthritis. For example, you may have neck and back pain because you move differently to avoid pain in your affected joints.
  • Sports injury care. Some osteoarthritis is caused by a sports injury. Our team can help you recover from that and reduce a recurrence.
