ARTHRITIS TREATMENT
Chiropractic is an effective treatment for arthritis.
We understand that living life with arthritis can be difficult, painful and debilitating. Over 10 million people in the UK have arthritis or another joint degenerating condition. We’re here to help you manage your arthritis
What is Arthritis?
Arthritis is a condition that affects the joints in our bodies, and can cause stiffness, swelling and pain. It is an inflammatory condition which is more noticeable particularly in the mornings and after periods of rest. There are several types of arthritis including: osteoarthritis, degenerative arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
Some forms of arthritis are associated with the aging process, yet its painful and stiffening effects can still be managed and slowed through natural treatments such as chiropractic.
Many of our clients diagnosed with arthritis reported improvements with our treatments such as improved mobility, reduced discomfort, and better day-to-day function without relying solely on medication.
If arthritis is starting to impact your movement, confidence or independence, let us help.
Research shows that chiropractic care can be an effective, non-invasive way to support joint health, mobility and pain relief in those living with arthritis.
How Chiropractic Treatment Can Help with the Symptoms of Arthritis
At Wholesome Health Chiropractic & Well-being Centre, arthritis is a condition we commonly support — and we understand just how much it can affect your quality of life.
Unlike traditional treatments, offering medication and surgical intervention, chiropractic is a natural, holistic approach to managing the pain and stiffness of arthritis. Through gentle adjustments and personalised care, we aim to improve your movement and reduce inflammation.
Let’s work together to manage your arthritis and help you stay active, mobile and independent.
The benefits of chiropractic and osteopathy for arthritis:
Pain Management
Gentle Chiropractic adjustments aim to restore movement to the joints affected by arthritis, easing discomfort and helping mobility.
Holistic Approach
We treat your entire body - we understand that your arthritic joints may lead to you compensating or walking differently. This may put added strain on other joints in your body, so we look after those too.
Inflammation Reduction
Chiropractic treatments are aimed at supporting the body’s ability to function and heal from inflammation. By adjusting the joints and stimulating the nerves around the arthritic joints, we help with inflammation naturally.
Posture Support
With poor posture putting added strain on our joints, its important to reduce this pressure particularly for arthritic joints. Our team equip you with the advice, and exercises for you to improve your posture.
Osteoarthritis
Often known as ‘wear and tear’ – the most common form of arthritis in the UK.
As our joints age, cartilage begins to wear down and the bone underneath may begin to change. This is a normal process that happens gradually and can cause pain, stiffness and swelling. In severe cases there can be a significant impact on mobility and the ability to function day to day.
Joints that are affected by osteoarthritis:
Hips
Hands
Knees
Spine
