Chiropractic Treatment for Joint Pain and Arthritis
Chiropractic treatments for joint pain and arthritis are very effective. Joint pain is caused by a trauma which may have forced the joint out of its natural alignment, chronic poor posture, sports injuries and the bodies own inflammatory response. Often inflammation accompanies the injury increasing the patients pain by putting pressure on surrounding nerves. Chiropractic joint adjustments followed by appropriate therapies correct the issues causing the pain and reduce related joint inflammation helping the patient to feel immediate relief.
Arthritis is referred to as the chronic swelling, joint damage, and pain in the joints. There are many different types of arthritis. Symptoms may vary from patient to patient. Pain levels can change from day to or even week to week with the same patient. Arthritis can affect almost all areas of the body but arthritis of the joints is the most common. Chiropractic adjustments and soft tissue treatments are commonly used to treat arthritis and related pain.

Cold Laser & Physical Therapy

Physical therapies are used to stretch and strengthen muscle groups which will support proper alignment of the joint.
Spinal Traction and Decompression Therapy
Spinal traction and decompression therapy are commonly used to reduce pressure on the spine when discs become compressed due to over use or injury. Optilife is equipped with spinal decompression and traction adjustment tables to provide safe and effective traction and decompression therapy for our patients.
Tens Therapy
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulators (TENS). TENS units feature electrodes placed over the painful area of the joint. The patient alerts the theapist how to control the intensity of electrical stimulation based on their level of comfort. The muscle stimulation helps block the transmission of pain signals along the nerves and releases the body’s natural painkillers, endorphins. This will often help to reduce joint pain from injuries or arthritis.
I have been going to Dr. Danielle since February and I have improved tremendously! She has helped me so much and has been the most understanding Dr. I have been to. She is genuine and truly cares about my well-being and making sure I get better. I have seen her with other patients when I go for my visits and she is just as amazing with them as she is with me. They make an excellent team and I highly recommend OptiLife because of their professionalism and astounding knowledge on Chiropractic care.
