Joint Pain
Joint pain can be pain or inflammation from any part of a joint, including cartilage, bone, ligaments, tendons, or muscles. A chiropractor will maximise your body’s ability to operate pain-free by increasing their mobility and ability to function.
Joints are the areas of cartilage that connect your bones. You have joints in your hips, knees, elbows, ankles, wrists, and shoulders. Joint pain can develop with aging, wear and tear, and overuse of the joints. Some common conditions that cause joint pain include bursitis, tendinitis, arthritis, and more.
Chiropractors are experts at diagnosing the root cause of joint pain and identifying the right treatment to alleviate it. The goal of chiropractic care is to gently relieve pain and get the body back to full functionality. Given that we use our joints in almost every activity that we engage in, as well as treating your existing pain, we will assist with strengthening exercises or lifestyle advice to help you minimise further aggravation of the injury.
