Rheumatoid arthritis, or RA, is an autoimmune condition that causes chronic inflammation in the joints, leading to pain, stiffness, swelling, and reduced mobility. It often affects smaller joints such as those in the hands and feet and can progress to involve larger joints over time. The immune system mistakenly attacks healthy joint tissue, resulting in damage and deformity. Chiropractic care can help by improving joint mobility, reducing inflammation, and easing muscle tension. Chiropractors also provide guidance on posture, exercise, and lifestyle changes to support joint health and help individuals manage the daily challenges of rheumatoid arthritis. Studies have shown this type of care may not be suitable for all patients. If you have RA, it is suggested that you consider consulting a chiropractor who can determine if this is appropriate for you.
Arthritis Relief
Arthritis, a common condition affecting millions, causes inflammation, stiffness, and pain in the joints. It can make everyday activities challenging and significantly impact quality of life. While there is no cure for arthritis, chiropractic care offers a natural, non-invasive way to manage symptoms and improve joint function.
Chiropractors focus on enhancing joint mobility and reducing inflammation through gentle, targeted adjustments. By realigning the body and restoring proper movement, chiropractic care can help relieve the pressure on arthritic joints, alleviating pain and stiffness. Adjustments also support better circulation, which may help reduce inflammation around affected joints.
In addition to adjustments, chiropractors often recommend specific exercises and stretches to strengthen muscles surrounding the joints, improving stability and reducing stress on the joints over time. They may also advise on lifestyle adjustments, such as dietary changes or ergonomic modifications, to support overall joint health.
