Arthritis
Arthritis is a condition that causes pain and inflammation in a joint. There are over 100 types of arthritis, some of which are linked to other symptoms and illnesses, whilst others are a process of over use, ageing, trauma or even certain lifestyle factors (e.g excess weight, lack of exercise and poor nutrition).
As chiropractors, we are very familiar with seeing a variety of people who suffer with arthritic pain, particularly osteoarthritis, a degenerative form of the condition and most common. Although not a cure, chiropractic aims to mobilise and improve function of affected joints in a specific, controlled and gentle way. Along with other methods of treatment such as massage, dry needling and laser therapy our chiropractors are skilfully trained in providing effective pain relief, that is suitable for all ages and individuals. Arthritis does not have to be something that you ‘just live with.’ With the right support, there are ways to manage and dramatically improve quality of life, let us at Staplehurst chiropractic help.
