Arthritis Treatment from Clayton Chiropractic

As people get older, their bodies start to break down. They might notice that they are a little bit stiffer than usual. They might be a little bit slower to perform certain tasks. They could even notice that they have some mild pain or discomfort, even shaking at times. This could be due to something called arthritis. As people's lifespans continue to lengthen, certain conditions are going to become more and more common. One example is arthritis. Without an accurate understanding of this common disease, people might not get the care that they deserve. This would be a travesty. At Clayton Chiropractic, we want to make sure that the people of Clayton get the care that they need. There is some basic information about arthritis that everyone should know.

Where Does Arthritis Come From?

Those who are familiar with arthritis have likely heard that this disease comes in many forms. There is Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis, Osteoarthritis, and Rheumatoid Arthritis. Regardless of the type of arthritis, the root cause is always inflammation. Arthritis is typically a disease of the joints and the joint space. The joints rely on a soft cushion called cartilage that prevents the bones from rubbing up against each other. With certain disease conditions, this cartilage cushion can get worn down. This is what happens in arthritis. As this cushion starts to degrade, inflammation will set in. This inflammation will continue to erode the bones and the cartilage, leading to further damage and pain. It is important for everyone to seek the care of a chiropractor to stop this disease progression.

What Are the Treatment Options for Arthritis?

When someone has been diagnosed with arthritis, the doctor is going to recommend several treatments. In many cases, people will be prescribed drugs to reverse the inflammation. While this can be helpful, it is important to treat the cause as well as the symptoms. This is where a chiropractor, such as the one at Clayton Chiropractic, can be helpful. A trained chiropractor can help patients learn how to do certain exercises that can strengthen their joints. A chiropractor can also perform procedures and manipulations that can help give the joints more space, relieving the compression and inflammation. Nobody should have to live their life in pain.
