Can Chiropractic Help Arthritis?
Doctors have not found a cure for Arthritis, However, new treatment for this disease has greatly improved the quality of life for patients with arthritis. Doctors of Chiropractic will customize a pain management program of physical modalities and spinal adjustments that fits the patients needs. For patients who are experiencing pain or stiffness in the hands, paraffin baths (hot wax baths) have yielded great results. Preventive care is also an important consideration in regards to arthritis. As the disease develops spinal fusion can occur resulting in greater loss of mobility and increased pain. Your Doctor of Chiropractic will thoroughly evaluate your condition in order to design a treatment program that will hopefully prevent or slow down the process. If you have arthritis or if you think you do, consult a Doctor of Chiropractic for evaluation.
