Arthritis Treatment
Arthritis is a common term encompassing joint inflammation, affecting areas throughout the body, often stemming from uneven wear and tear due to previous injuries or repetitive stress over time. At Farrar Family Chiropractic, we identify and treat arthritis in all joints, including the neck, back, hips, ankles, knees, feet, elbows, and shoulders.
How We Help
Chiropractic plays a crucial role in relieving arthritis-related pain and stiffness. The most common form we treat is osteoarthritis, although our expertise extends to other arthritis types, tailored to each patient’s unique condition and requirements. Our first step is a thorough evaluation to assess joint health and identify specific needs.
By correcting joint alignment and promoting proper movement, we restore normal motion, enhance joint function, and prevent future wear and damage. Additionally, we focus on strengthening and retraining surrounding muscles to support joint health and movement.
Giving You Care That’s Right for You
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to arthritis care. We tailor our plans based on joint severity, health, and patient age, offering a range of adjustments and complementary therapies to ensure optimal results. These include
- Electrical Muscle Stimulation—relaxes muscles and reduces pain and spasms, aiding in faster recovery.
- Decompression Therapy—gentle stretching relieves joint pressure, promoting healing and improved function.
- Exercise Program—specific exercises and stretches are recommended based on individual assessments and targeted to help rebalance muscles, improve flexibility, and strengthen joints.
In addition to chiropractic care, patients may benefit from anti-inflammatory medications, whether over-the-counter or prescribed to reduce joint swelling, and natural supplements to support the body’s anti-inflammatory processes.
Optimizing Prevention and Long-Term Maintenance
Arthritis is preventable and manageable with proper care and maintenance. Seeking timely assessment and treatment after joint injuries is crucial in preventing future complications. If we’re starting to see arthritis and damage, the correct treatment is essential to stop the progression and help that area work correctly using chiropractic care, rehab, and decompression.
