Joint pain decreases activities of daily living, no matter what joint it occurs in. Untreated pain not only is annoying but tends to get worse the longer it remains untreated. Most joint pain is caused by overuse injuries.

A chiropractor is able to pinpoint the origin of joint pain and prescribe a treatment plan to target the problem as well as improve joint function in the entire body. By treating the entire body at once, the immune system is allowed to reduce overall inflammation and speed healing to painful areas. Once pain is relieved and inflammation is resolved, the joints and muscles begin to operate optimally for more pain-free days and increased injury prevention in the future.

Chiropractic care has shown major improvement in conditions such as osteoarthritis, sciatica, trauma, and overuse syndrome in the hips. Chiropractic adjustments increase flexibility and range of motion in all areas of the body and are especially helpful in patients with elbow and shoulder pain.

Most patients do not realize how much the knee joints are used in the most simple of daily tasks – until they start experiencing knee pain.

Fortunately, chiropractic care provides effective treatment without the use of narcotics. Joint pain is typically manageable with joint adjustments and soft tissue massage.
