Ask a Chiropractor: Can Chiropractic Care Ease My Arthritis Pain?

If you’ve ever suffered from back or neck pain, you’ve likely considered seeking treatment from a chiropractor. While it’s true that these are two of the most common reasons patients seek the help of the Integrated Health Solutions’ team, the benefits of chiropractic treatment and integrative medicine reach far beyond that of neck and back pain. One condition that many suffer from but don’t know we can help with is arthritis.

Arthritis in any form causes inflammation in one or more joints. While many sufferers primarily complain about issues in their hands, shoulders, and knees, arthritis can impact any joints in the body. For that reason, many are turning to chiropractic and integrative medical treatment options to help ease the pain caused by their arthritis. As holistic care, chiropractic treatments are some of the safest and most effective forms of arthritis relief available. If you feel helpless and at a dead end with your arthritic pain management, the team at Integrated Health Solutions has safe, drug-free options to help you find the relief you seek.

How Can a Chiropractor and Integrative Medical Treat My Arthritis?

Chiropractic and integrative medical treatment revolves around the idea that the spine is responsible for assisting the central nervous system in regulating the body. If there is an issue with your spine’s alignment, messages from the brain cannot properly be sent to the rest of the body. Through hands-on adjustments and manipulations, a chiropractor helps the body heal and assist with inflammation without surgery or medication. 

For those who have arthritis, the Integrated team at Integrated Health Solutions has various treatment options to assist patients with their pain.

• Cold Laser Therapy: With a low-intensity K-Laser, your chiropractor delivers low-level light deep into your bones and tissue to heal from the inside out. By applying the laser directly to the painful areas of your body, this light can mix with the photoreactive properties in your cells and promote healing, pain relief, and reduction in inflammation. 
• Massage Therapy: Your massage therapist at Integrated Health Solutions can help decrease inflammation, enhance flexibility, and reduce arthritic pain through massage therapy. We offer various massage options, such as Myofascial release, which works to diminish pain caused by arthritic inflammation.
