Flower Mound Chiropractor Offers Treatment Plans for Joint Pain Arthritis

Although arthritis can be a part of the aging process, arthritis pain does not have to be a part of your life. Whether you suffer from joint pain arthritis, osteoarthritis, or rheumatoid arthritis, Butler Chiropractic Clinic can help. Our Flower Mound chiropractor Dr. Randy Butler has extensive experience using gentle and effective chiropractic treatments for all types of conditions and, due to its widespread prevalence, arthritis is one of the more common issues we treat. Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all philosophy to health and wellness care, we create individualized treatment plans that aim to address and correct each person’s specific needs.

One of the overall needs for people suffering from arthritis is pain relief. The condition is marked by an inflammation of one or more joints, which produces stiffness and pain. The swelling may also be accompanied by redness, visible swelling, and a limited range of motion. Joint pain arthritis can have several causes, and our first goal is to perform a consultation and examination to determine if underlying issues are contributing to the condition. We can treat rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis as part of an overall senior care wellness plan or we can adapt a plan that includes other treatment methods to help with additional issues.

Osteoarthritis, which is the most common type, comes from damage due to the wear and tear of cartilage in the joint areas. The wear-and-tear damage can come from aging, although the condition can also be hastened or produced by an infection or injury. If an injury or infection is contributing to osteoarthritis, we adjust our chiropractic plan to help eliminate the infection or heal the injury as quickly as possible as the first step in our program.

Rheumatoid arthritis is another condition not only reserved for our senior care plans. This condition can strike people of all ages, resulting in the body’s immune system attacking the joint capsule lining. The lining, in turn, often becomes swollen and the condition can continue to progress, eventually damaging or destroying the joint’s bone and cartilage.

Once we have established the cause behind your joint pain arthritis, our next move is to alleviate the symptoms to improve your quality of life. Our Flower Mound chiropractor offers a number of chiropractic treatments that can do both, starting with a spinal adjustment to ensure the body is balanced, properly aligned, and in its optimum condition. Our massage therapy treatment has been effective for alleviating joint pain arthritis discomfort as well as improving circulation and releasing tension.

Physiotherapy and lifestyle advice are two more services we offer for joint pain and rheumatoid arthritis. Our methods consist of moist heat therapy and muscle stimulation. Rehabilitation programs that include gentle stretching and other exercises can also help, as can Dr. Butler’s lifestyle advice. Maintaining a healthy weight and getting regular exercise are helpful for rheumatoid arthritis as well as joint pain arthritis, and our chiropractor can provide health coaching to ensure you achieve both.
