How Can Chiropractic Treatments Help My Arthritis?
Arthritis is simply joint inflammation, and there are currently more than 200 different types of arthritis that can affect people from all walks of life. The most common type of arthritis is osteoarthritis, also often referred to as degenerative joint disease. This type of arthritis becomes more common as we age.
Many types of osteoarthritis are treated with what is known as an anti-inflammatory medicine. Using this type of medication over a long period of time can reduce the speed at which cartilage in the body can heal as well as cause damage to the stomach lining and even result in serious stomach bleeds, especially in older individuals. At St. Paul Chiropractic & Natural Medicine Center, it’s our belief that there are better ways to manage osteoarthritis, and one of those is with chiropractic adjustments.
By receiving consistent chiropractic treatments coupled with regular exercise and an improved diet you can often reduce the need to take any type of anti-inflammatory medication.
