There are many different types of arthritis, but arthritis as a whole is one of the leading causes of disability among adults in the U.S. Two of the most common types of arthritis are rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, both of which are characterized by joint damage. Although chiropractic treatment cannot cure arthritis, routine care can help sufferers manage and relieve their pain.
Dr. Licitra says: “Chiropractic care can be a safe, non-invasive and non-addictive alternative to prescriptions and OTC pain medications. Adjustments serve to support the proper functioning of the nervous system which is responsible for controlling every system and organ in the body. In particular, adjustments can reduce joint restrictions, misalignments in the spine and other joints in the body.”
Different types of arthritis affect the body in different ways, but in most types, the joints are affected, particularly joints that support one’s weight like the hips, knees and spine. Other affected joints includes one’s fingers, arms and feet which are joints that are used frequently throughout the day.
Dr. Licitra added that: “Those suffering from arthritis are encouraged to schedule regular visits to their chiropractor for personalized care to maintain optimal health.”
