Are you experiencing pain, stiffness, redness or swelling? You may be suffering from arthritis. Arthritis is an often misunderstood condition. Arthritis is known by many names—but all of them indicate a condition that can be both painful and debilitating.
As Weston chiropractors well schooled in arthritis, we address the practical issue of getting the body to move more freely. Chiropractic as a regular treatment can help prevent the damaging effects of arthritis according to the National Arthritis Foundation. This form of prevention is probably the most crucial benefit in treating the disease.
The lifestyle changes and therapies we will discuss with you will influence diet, exercise, and maintaining the body’s alignment that we believe will offset health problems that might accompany arthritis. Proper weight and a healthy immune system are both important factors in limiting the devastating effects of all forms of arthritis, especially osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
Arthritis is an inflammation of one or more of your joints. Arthritis is not a single disease – it is a term that covers over 100 medical conditions.
According to the Arthritis Foundation, arthritis collectively affects nearly 46 million adults and 300,000 children in America alone. While the most common form of arthritis – osteoarthritis (OA) – is most prevalent in people over 60, arthritis in its various forms can start as early as infancy. Together, arthritis and related conditions are a major cause of disability in the United States, costing the U.S. economy more than $124 billion per year in medical care and indirect expenses such as lost wages and production – and costing millions of individuals their health, their physical abilities and, in many cases, their independence.
Let the chiropractic physicians at Windmill Health Center help you to manage your arthritis, keeping you as mobile and pain-free as possible.
Treatments for arthritis vary, depending on the type of arthritis. The main goals at our chiropractic clinic are to reduce your symptoms and improve your quality of life.
X-rays of many people in their 20’s show that arthritis is not reserved for the elderly. One of the main causes of arthritis is joints that aren’t moving properly because of misalignments of the bones that form them. Your spine is a group of cylinder-shaped bones with knobs on the backs and side of each bone that fit into grooves in the neighboring vertebra, and as top Weston chiropractic physicians, we can evaluate these joints for you.
Don’t take arthritis lying down! As Weston chiropractic physicians, we have successfully helped hundreds of patients suffering from headaches, lower back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, carpal tunnel, sciatica and sports injuries.
