Arthritis
Arthritis refers to inflammation of the joint. There are many different types of arthritis and it can affect people of all ages. Even x-rays of teenagers can show that joint degeneration is not just due to old age, but is related to your lifestyle. One of the causes of arthritis is when joints aren't moving in their normal range of motion. This can place undue pressure on the joint cartilage and reduce the movement of joint lubricating fluid which is what provides cartilage with its nutrients. Chiropractic care for arthritis aims to get these joints to move more freely. Once your body is aligned and moving with less restriction, the need for pain-relieving medications can often be reduced, or not needed.
At Inner West Chiropractic Care we can suggest guidelines for lifestyle changes including diet and supplementation, and exercises that will help maintain your body’s alignment and reduce the health problems that may accompany arthritis. Healthy body weight and a healthy immune system are both important factors in limiting the devastating effects of degenerative joint disease.
