Living with arthritis can be a daily struggle. The condition can be painful and affect mobility, making it difficult to perform everyday tasks. Fortunately, it is possible to find relief. Chiropractic care is a natural, non-surgical, drug-free treatment proven to diminish arthritic symptoms.

In over 30 years of business, Augusta/Waynesboro Chiropractic Center in Virginia has helped more than 11,000 patients, many of whom had arthritis. Below, they offer some insight to help you understand why this treatment method is so effective.  

Most people with arthritis take anti-inflammatory medication to treat their symptoms. Although it may be effective, many medications have unfavorable side effects which can do more harm than good in the long run. 

chiropractic careThe good news is, medication isn’t the only way to relieve arthritic pain. In fact, multiple studies have shown spinal manipulation to be as effective as medication for reducing neck and lower back pain, including discomfort caused by osteoarthritis. Manipulation typically involves applying a specific amount of pressure to a vertebra or bone to readjust it to its correct position. The treatment isn’t a quick fix, although most patients experience some relief after the first or second visit. Rather, it’s a long-term treatment involving multiple phases of relief, restoration, and maintenance. 

While chiropractors primarily offer treatments for neck and back pain, the benefits of their care extend beyond these areas. By manipulating and adjusting misaligned joints and vertebrae, chiropractic care providers improve the connection between the spine and nervous system, which affects various parts of the body. Additionally, improved posture and mobility can relieve pressure from other joints, like the knees, which are also often affected by arthritis.
