Arthritis: A Painful Threat to Wellness

Idaho Falls chiropractor uses chiropractic for arthritis.jpgArthritis is a distressingly common source of joint pain and stiffness -- a seemingly inevitable problem that becomes more likely with age. But if you assume that you have to let it slow you down and cause you constant pain, think again. Here at Sarasota Chiropractic, Physical Therapy and Massage our Sarasota chiropractor, Dr. Kozma, helps arthritic patients move better and feel better.

While painful joint inflammation may occur as a result of an infection or autoimmune disorder, most sufferers are experiencing osteoarthritis. In osteoarthritis, the cartilage that permits easy motion inside joints thins and breaks down, creating uncomfortable friction in the afflicted joint. A demanding sport or job-related repetitive motion can also lead to this problem, or you may simply get it after many years of ordinary wear and tear. Some cases are aggravated by an uneven posture or gait that puts too much weight on one hip, knee or ankle, leaving you with pain and stiffness in that joint. Back pain and stiffness can also stem from osteoarthritis of the spinal facet joints, a common side effect of age-related disc compression.

While the pain and stiffness of this condition can mimic other ailments, it has certain recognizable characteristics. The joint may appear reddened or swollen (with fluid buildup causing the swelling), and the pain and stiffness you feel may seem worse when you first get up in the morning. The resulting sedentary lifestyle promotes circulatory problems, muscle weakness and other wellness issues, while encouraging the pain and stiffness to grow worse.

Chiropractic Care Helps with Pain Management

Dr. Kozma can help ease your aching joints with natural pain management treatments that can get you moving again. Our Sarasota chiropractor will examine your medical history, ask you about your symptoms and check your range of motion. We can then prescribe a mix of adjustment, acupuncture, massage and other techniques to help relieve your pain and correct any misalignments that might be making the problem worse.
