Arthritis is an umbrella term for a group of joint diseases, with osteoarthritis being the most common by far. This form of the disease is also called “wear-and-tear” and degenerative arthritis. It occurs over time as repeated use of the joints wears down the cartilage. The body isn’t capable of repairing the cartilage so that the bones rub together when you move. This causes the inflammation and pain associated with the disease.
Aging is the biggest risk factor for arthritis, but other factors also contribute to its development. There appears to be a genetic component as it often runs in families. It also occurs more frequently in women than in men.
There are 360 joints in the human body, and arthritis can occur in nearly any of them. However, it is most common in the knees, followed by the hips, spine, neck, feet, ankles, and hands. Injuries to other joints can cause arthritis and may start earlier in life. Different people also experience varying degrees of symptoms. Arthritis symptoms are mild in some people and severe in others.
Medical treatments for arthritis usually focus on the use of anti-inflammatory and pain medications. These range from over-the-counter NSAIDs to cortisone injections into the affected joint. Even the simplest medications can cause side effects. More importantly, they don’t focus on treating the cause of pain and swelling.
Our Brick NJ chiropractor focuses on the relationship between structure and function. He can use gentle manipulations to restore function to the entire body, not just the affected area. In some cases, just treating the tissue around the arthritic joint can significantly reduce your swelling and pain.
Your Brick chiropractor uses a range of techniques to treat arthritis. Some of the options we rely on include:
We use techniques that treat your condition rather than just providing pain relief.
