Arthritis Pain Relief
Many people see an arthritis diagnosis as a life-long sentence to joint pain—but there is hope! Chiropractic care has been a very successful way for most people to manage osteoarthritis, which is the most common form of the disease. Our chiropractors can also provide natural relief and symptom management for people suffering with rheumatoid arthritis.
Our Arthritis Treatment Options
If you suffer from joint pain, stiffness, decreased range of motion, or joint inflammation, please call our office in Butte at (406) 782-2557 to meet with our chiropractors. They will thoroughly examine your spine, joints and medical history. They can then offer several treatment options for both rheumatoid and osteoarthritis. These are the two most common arthritic conditions:
Osteoarthritis
Mechanical, day-to-day, wear and tear of the cartilage in the joints, usually due to uncorrected spinal misalignments. This is by far the most common type of arthritis. Cases of osteoarthritis can vary in severity from stiff, painful, creaking/grinding joints, mild disc degeneration and small bone spurs all the way to severely degenerated spines where the vertebrae have completely fused together.
Rheumatoid arthritis
An autoimmune condition where the body attacks its own tissues, causing pain, swelling, stiffness and joint deformity. It is diagnosed with blood testing and can be well managed with a team approach between your chiropractor and your rheumatologist.
Chiropractic Treatments
Chiropractic treatments for arthritis conditions can welcome pain relief and boost your range of motion and energy levels.
Osteoarthritis is largely due to wear and tear of undiagnosed spinal misalignments called subluxations. Our chiropractors use gentle, precise spinal adjustments to correct these subluxations. This takes pressure off of the bones, joints, nerves and intervertebral discs. For our rheumatoid arthritis patients, spinal adjustments help the body work better overall by empowering the nervous system to better regulate the immune system.
It is critical for those with joint problems to stay as safely active as they can, and to build core strength that enables them to maintain good posture throughout the day. Our chiropractors can coach you what exercises would be best to provide significant relief and improve your range of motion.
