What Is Arthritis?

Arthritis refers to inflammation and wear in the joints. The most common type we see in clinic is osteoarthritis, where cartilage gradually thins and the joint becomes stiff or painful. Contributing factors include:

  • Age‑related changes in cartilage
  • Previous injury or repetitive strain
  • Poor posture or biomechanics
  • Muscle weakness around the joint
  • Genetic predisposition

While arthritis cannot be “cured,” the right care can make a big difference in how you move and feel.

Common Symptoms

  • Stiffness, especially in the morning or after rest
  • Aching or sharp pain in the joint
  • Swelling or inflammation
  • Reduced range of motion
  • Clicking, grinding, or joint instability
  • Pain that worsens with activity or weather changes

How Chiropractic Helps Arthritis

Our chiropractors assess the affected joint and surrounding muscles to identify contributing factors. Treatment may include:

  • Gentle joint mobilisation to improve movement
  • Soft‑tissue therapy to reduce muscle tension
  • Exercise‑based rehabilitation to strengthen stabilisers
  • Posture and movement coaching
  • Home strategies to manage stiffness and flare‑ups

By improving mobility and reducing strain, chiropractic care helps you stay active and independent.
