Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis. It occurs most frequently in the hands, hips, and knees as the cartilage within a joint begins to break down and the underlying bone begins to change.

Chiropractic treatment may be able to address the cause of osteoarthritis. A joint may be damaged over time because it’s out of alignment, or because of the way you sit, stand, or walk. Chiropractic care can fix those issues, which may keep your arthritis from getting worse. It can help ease pain as well as restore proper nerve communication to improve overall health and wellness.

Sports therapy can be highly beneficial for managing osteoarthritis by improving joint function, reducing pain, and enhancing mobility. Through targeted exercises and manual therapy, sports therapists help strengthen the muscles around affected joints, providing better support and reducing the strain on them. Additionally, techniques such as stretching and massage improve flexibility and circulation, which can alleviate stiffness and discomfort. Regular sports therapy can help slow the progression of osteoarthritis, enabling individuals to maintain an active and healthy lifestyle.
