Arthritis is a condition that causes inflammation in the joints, leading to pain, stiffness, and decreased mobility. It can affect any joint in the body, but is especially common in the knees, hips, hands, and spine. There are several types of arthritis, including osteoarthritis, which results from wear and tear of the cartilage, and rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune condition that attacks the joints. Common symptoms of arthritis include swelling, warmth surrounding the joint, reduced range of motion, and joint tenderness. The severity of these symptoms can vary, from mild discomfort to debilitating pain that limits daily activities. Treatment for arthritis focuses on reducing joint stress.

Chiropractic care offers a natural approach to managing arthritis pain. Through spinal adjustments, joint manipulation, and soft tissue therapy, chiropractors can reduce inflammation, enhance joint mobility, and alleviate pain.
