Joint Pain

Joint Pain

The area where two or more of your bones meet is known as a joint. Since we move our joints regularly, any sort of joint pain has the potential to be debilitating. Our chiropractor in Portage can help you reduce or eliminate your joint pain. At Optimum Health Chiropractic Center, we will work with you to naturally and effectively treat your joint pain.

What Can Cause Joint Pain?

Many things can potentially cause joint pain. Some joint pain is caused by general wear and tear, while other types of pain are caused by injuries or chronic health conditions. Common causes of joint pain include:

  • Osteoarthritis: This type of arthritis occurs when the cartilage that protects the joints is worn down. It's the most common cause of joint pain.
  • Rheumatoid arthritis: This disease can cause joint pain and can cause joints to swell or become deformed. It typically occurs in the wrists and fingers.
  • Bursitis: Our joints are cushioned by pads filled with fluid called bursae. If these pads become inflamed, it can be very painful.
  • Meniscus injury: Knee joints are cushioned by cartilage called meniscus. If this cartilage is damaged, the knee joint won't be protected or supported, which can lead to pain.
  • Tendons: Sometimes, pain in the joints isn't an issue with the joints at all. Injured tendons can frequently be found around joints and these injuries can cause severe pain.

How Chiropractors Treat Joint Pain

Chiropractors use many techniques to optimize joint function. These therapies can be an effective way to treat inflammation, pain, and improve the range of motion in various joints. One of the most common treatments for joint pain is a chiropractic adjustment. Chiropractors can manipulate joints, treating restrictions and restoring the alignment of your joints. Joint mobilizations that stretch and loosen your joints are also a popular treatment.

Not only can a chiropractor relieve the joint pain you're currently experiencing, but we can help reduce the frequency of joint pain in the future. Some types of joint pain are caused by chronic conditions that can't be cured, but a chiropractor can still strengthen the muscles and tendons around your joints. Chiropractic care is an excellent way to keep your joints healthy for years to come.
