Arthritis is a disease that can affect anyone at any stage of life. While aging can be a significant risk factor, there are cases wherein people under 65 develop the condition, some even in their 30s.

With every significant type of Arthritis, there are various causes and risk factors, but the following are the most common causes of Arthritis.

Older Age

Arthritis is a medical condition that affects the cartilage, making it brittle and unable to repair itself. It is commonly found in older individuals, with symptoms usually emerging between the ages of 40 and 50. However, it can also affect younger individuals in different forms of the disorder. Although Arthritis can occur at any age, it is more common in older age groups.

Injury

Older joint damage can cause symmetry in the routine, smooth joint surface. The injury commonly plays a part in developing Arthritis of the wrist. Another example is Arthritis caused by a tibial plateau fracture, where a cracked bone area enters the knee joint’s cartilage.

Infection

Certain infections around the joint, whether caused by bacteria or viruses, can result in cartilage degradation or skin formation. Individuals who experience a typical sickness around a joint are at an increased likelihood of developing Arthritis.

Autoimmune Factors

Rheumatoid Arthritis, Psoriatic Arthritis, juvenile idiopathic Arthritis, and lupus are the types of Arthritis in which your immune system attacks your tissues.

At Northside Chiropractic, we help patients discover the risk factors and root causes of their Arthritis. Our focus is on improving the relationship between the structure and function of your joints to aid in your healing process.

4 Effective Ways Chiropractic Treatment for Arthritis Can Help You

Chiropractic Adjustments

Gentle adjustments from a chiropractor can ease arthritis pain by improving tissue health and nerve function and reducing joint strain. They can detect even the slightest misalignments to help you feel better.

Natural Pain Management

Our chiropractor can suggest various holistic methods to manage arthritis pain. You can try the affordable options available in the clinic and determine their effectiveness. Options include mechanical traction, electrical stimulation, ice, and heat- to name a few. Then, consider transitioning to employing these modalities at home.

Lifestyle instruction

Managing arthritis requires a holistic approach to health. Proper stress, weight, sleep management, and a healthy diet can make a big difference. Chiropractors can help you achieve long-term health by providing knowledge and support.

Regular assessments and evaluations by our chiropractors ensure effective treatment and address any issues. Arthritis causes painful symptoms and is a leading cause of disability in the US.
