How Chiropractic Care Can Help

Many people assume that osteoarthritis is a condition they just have to “live with,” but that’s not the case. Chiropractic care offers a proactive way to manage OA by improving joint mobility, reducing inflammation, and supporting overall musculoskeletal health. At Back in Action Chiropractic, we focus on restoring balance to your body so that your joints can function as smoothly as possible.

Benefits of Chiropractic for Osteoarthritis:

Gentle Adjustments

to reduce joint stress and enhance mobility.

Spinal and Joint Realignment

to distribute weight evenly and prevent further wear and tear.

Myofascial Release Therapy

to address muscle tension that contributes to joint pain.

Inflammation Reduction Techniques

such as cold laser therapy and targeted stretches.

Personalized Movement Strategies

to help you stay active without aggravating your condition.

Many of our patients report feeling immediate relief after their first adjustment, with continued improvements over time. Our goal isn’t just to mask your symptoms but to help you regain long-term comfort and function.

Symptoms of Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis symptoms typically develop gradually and worsen over time. The most common signs include:

Joint pain and stiffness

Especially in the morning or after long periods of inactivity

Reduced flexibility and range of motion

Making it harder to perform daily tasks.

Swelling and tenderness

Around affected joints, often worsening after physical activity.

A grinding sensation or popping sounds

When moving the joint, known as crepitus.

Bone spurs

Which can develop as the body tries to compensate for cartilage loss.

Understanding Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis, affecting millions of people worldwide. It occurs when the protective cartilage that cushions the ends of your bones wears down over time, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. This condition can make everyday activities—like climbing stairs, bending down, or even getting out of bed—an uncomfortable challenge. If you’re struggling with joint pain and stiffness, chiropractic care may offer a natural, non-invasive way to improve your quality of life.

Why Does Osteoarthritis Occur?

While osteoarthritis is often associated with aging, it is not simply a consequence of getting older. Many factors can contribute to the development of OA, including:

Previous joint injuries

Trauma from past injuries or repetitive stress on a joint can accelerate cartilage breakdown.

Genetics

If your parents or grandparents suffered from osteoarthritis, you may be at higher risk.

Obesity

Excess weight puts additional strain on weight-bearing joints like the knees and hips.

Sedentary lifestyle

Lack of movement can lead to joint stiffness and muscle weakness, making osteoarthritis symptoms worse.

Poor posture

Misalignment in the spine or other joints can contribute to uneven wear and tear.

Understanding these causes is essential because it means you can take action. Chiropractic care, when combined with lifestyle changes, can slow down the progression of osteoarthritis and help you maintain mobility for years to come.

If These Symptoms Sound Familiar, It’s Time to Take Action.

The sooner you address osteoarthritis, the better your chances of maintaining an active, pain-free lifestyle.
