May is Arthritis Awareness Month 

 

According to the Arthritis Foundation, upwards of 60 million adults and 300,000 kids have arthritis (aka pain or disease in the joints) & you’re likely to get arthritis as you age, and you’re at a higher risk if you are a female.

 

There are over 100 types of arthritis!

 

Chances are that at you, or you may know at least one person who is affected. Whether that is you, a friend, or a family member, the right arthritis treatment can make a world of difference.

 

Did You Know that Chiropractic Treatment can help with Arthritis Symptoms?

Here are a couple of reasons to consider gentle chiropractic care for arthritis:

 

Joint Pain Relief

Do you, or do you know someone who has osteoarthritis (the most prevalent type of arthritis, which happens if the cartilage around your bones deteriorates, causing joint discomfort)?

 

If so, chiropractic care is generally recommended, particularly if you’re facing back pain. Our gentle method of Chiropractic treatment will align your spine, which takes the pressure off the joints, discs and nerves. That can help you get the much-needed relief you deserve. 

 

Increased Mobility

Another amazing thing about using chiropractic care to treat arthritis is that it can help to improve your range of motion.  Gentle spinal adjustments reduce your joint pain levels and increase your mobility, allowing you to move easier than before, by helping to bring those joints back into alignment. This will help you move your arms, back, neck, and legs with ease once again.

 

Once this realignment happens, your spine and brain will also communicate better, which can help with your overall body functioning.
