From the OCA ; September is Arthritis Awareness Month.
We're sharing four examples of how a chiropractor can provide you with drug-free, non-invasive ways to manage your arthritis and its pain.
Following an initial assessment, history, and physical examination, your chiropractor can recommend which treatments are appropriate for your specific arthritis management needs.
1. PATIENT EDUCATION: Education builds confidence. Chiropractors provide guidance on pacing, flare‑up management, and self‑care strategies that help you stay active and in control.
2. SPINAL MANIPULATION: Spinal manipulation may offer short‑term pain and mobility improvements for patients with some forms of arthritis.
3. SOFT-TISSUE THERAPY: Soft‑tissue techniques may reduce muscle tension and help improve your mobility.
4. EXERCISE GUIDANCE: Exercise is the foundation of arthritis care. Chiropractors guide patients toward safe, effective movements that improve strength, mobility, and daily function.
Looking for a spine, muscle and joint expert to help you prevent or manage your arthritis? Visit your local chiropractor! In Ontario, you can visit a chiropractor without a referral from a family physician or other health care professional.
