Joint pain affects virtually every aspect of your life, not limited to just mobility, but also affecting things like sleep, relaxation, and performing the simple tasks you once took for granted. It may be due to arthritis, injury, or simply getting older.
At Active Care Chiropractic & Rehabilitation in Lafayette Hill, the Main Line, East Falls, Elkins Park, Manayunk and Hatfield, Pennsylvania, we’re joint pain specialists. We offer drug and surgery-free therapies to help ease joint pain and get you moving again.
Though pain relief isn’t the primary focus of chiropractic care, it’s something our patients have come to count on. Designed to help your body repair itself at peak efficiency, chiropractic adjustments often reduce or eliminate pain soon after your adjustment.
And we’re not all about spinal manipulation. We incorporate a wide range of complementary strategies to assure you of the best holistic care we can provide. In this blog, we’ll look at four of our go-to treatments to relieve joint pain.
Spinal manipulation is, of course, the center of our focus since your spine is the center of your body, the information conduit between your brain and all parts of your body. If this conduit isn’t working well, you’re fighting a losing battle against pain.
Restricted joint motion has a symbiotic relationship with joint pain and stiffness, both causing it and resulting from it. Chiropractic care can reduce pressure on joints, releasing nerves, relieving inflammation, improving blood flow, and expanding flexibility.
It’s not just about the spine either. We regularly treat joints commonly affected by pain, like your hands, hips, knees, shoulders, and more.
Our therapy service menu is extensive, including manual techniques beyond fundamental adjustments. We even incorporate technology to offer you the widest range of effective alternatives.
Ask us about cold laser therapy and ultrasound, just two of the powerful ways we can boost the effectiveness of your adjustments and relieve joint pain.
Home care in the form of exercise and stretching is an important part of extending the benefits of your in-office care. However, there’s only so much you can do at home. Assisted stretching takes joints and muscles beyond the range of motion you can achieve yourself.
Maintaining the benefits of your adjustments is easier when you build core strength, address postural form, and build balance and stability. We can help you develop an effective home routine to complement your office sessions.
Your treatment starts when our practitioners greet you, assessing posture and movement for subtle signs of alignment and joint dysfunction of which you may not be aware. We can spot small issues in your body mechanics that add up to extra force on your joints.
We can help you with workplace adjustments, footwear suggestions, and task modifications to help you work with your body rather than against it.
