Joint Pain

At Reclaim Health, our goal is to both treat joint pain and help prevent it from happening again. Since joint pain can have lasting effects on the body, we recommend routine chiropractic care to ensure your body is in tip-top shape and pain-free at all times.
We understand how uncomfortable joint pain can be, which is why we are focused on immediate treatment, education, and preventative care. Our treatment plans are customized to each patient’s needs and lifestyle to ensure we provide the best experience and help you find relief quickly and efficiently. We are also able to offer advice on your posture, take you through exercises, and show you relaxation techniques. These will assist you in relieving the recurring joint irritation, as well as any tension you may be carrying in surrounding muscles. We are also able to help relieve pain through ice, heat, electric stimulation, and much more. We will check your muscles as well as your spine for imbalances and alleviate tension so that your body works properly rather than being prone to injury.

Arthritis

Arthritis is an inflammation of the cartilage and lining of the joints. Although it can present itself at any age, arthritis is primarily found in those over 50.

Each foot has 33 joints, making them easy targets for arthritis. In some cases, arthritis can be extremely painful and debilitating.

There are two types of arthritis: Osteoarthritis (also called “wear and tear” arthritis,) is the most common, typically brought on by the aging of joints. Cartilage breaks down over time, creating painful sensations and difficulty moving and articulating the joints. Rheumatoid arthritis is the most serious form and can be majorly crippling. In the foot, it is a chronic inflammatory problem affecting the feet and ankles.

Symptoms include stiffness of joints (especially in the morning), limitation of joint movement, pain, tenderness, redness, rashes, and/or swelling in the joints.

With early treatment, the symptoms of arthritis can be lessened and managed. Treatments include limiting movement, physical therapy, exercise, anti-inflammatory medications and/or steroid injections, and orthotics.
