Arthritis is a condition in which inflammation occurs in one or more of your joints, causing discomfort. There are more than 100 types of arthritis. Some types of arthritis also affect the skin, connective tissue, and internal organs. The two most common types of arthritis include:
Osteoarthritis
Most people who suffer from arthritis have osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis results from mechanical wear and tear on your joints, which damages cartilage and bone over time.
Rheumatoid arthritis
This is an autoimmune condition in which the immune system attacks the joints, causing deterioration, inflammation, and pain.
Osteoarthritis typically occurs as you get older and become more susceptible to wear and tear. However, injury, overuse, misuse, and carrying excess body weight can also contribute to osteoarthritis.
The cause of rheumatoid arthritis and other types of arthritis isn’t fully understood, but genetics and environmental factors are thought to contribute to these conditions. Women have a higher risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis than men.
Arthritis symptoms will depend on the type of arthritis and your individual circumstances, but most arthritis involves joint pain. Additional symptoms may include:
- Joint stiffness
- Joint swelling
- Redness
- Decreased range of motion
Arthritis pain can be mild, moderate, or severe, and it may be constant or intermittent.
The skilled team of professionals at Beeson Wellness Center understands that arthritis pain can be different for each person. The caring, experienced team will create a customized treatment plan and work together to provide a safe, natural plan to relieve you of your arthritis pain.
Chiropractic adjustments for arthritis are typically very gentle and focus on restoring function and range of motion. Other treatments will also be used to reduce inflammation and support the health of your muscles, connective tissue, and internal organs.
In addition to chiropractic adjustments, your treatment plan may include:
- Message Therapy
- Physical therapy
- Exercise routines
- Dietary changes
In most cases, arthritis is a chronic condition that can’t be cured, but a holistic treatment approach can significantly improve your quality of life and overall health.
