Osteoarthritis

What is Osteoarthritis?

It is caused primarily by lack of proper joint movement or poor joint alignment and can be aggravated by aging joints, injury, and lifestyle factors. Symptoms include pain, swelling, stiffness and mobility issues. It can damage any joint in your body, the disorder most commonly affects joints in hands, neck, lower back, knees and hips.​

Symptoms vary according to the affected joints, however the common symptoms include mild inflammation of the tissues in and around the joints, damage to cartilage and bony growths that develop around the edge of the joints.​

Osteoarthritis pain can come and go as the level of inflammation can go up and down. Arthro = Joint and Itis = Inflammation. Chiropractic & Spinal Therapy care, Laser and now pioneering MBST MRI therapy can to reduce pain and slowing the progression of the disease. Chiropractors use very gentle spinal adjustments to place the spinal column in proper alignment, which has a positive effect on the affected joints.
