Causes of
Joint Pain
There are various factors that can contribute to joint pain. Understanding the root cause of your discomfort is essential in determining the appropriate treatment. Some common causes of joint pain include:
-
Arthritis: Arthritis, whether it is osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis, can lead to inflammation and pain in the joints. Age, genetics, injuries and lifestyle can all play a role in the development of arthritis.
-
Injuries: Falls, car accidents, and other types of injuries can cause joint pain. The impact and trauma from these incidents can result in joint damage and subsequent pain.
-
Bursitis: Bursitis occurs when the small sacs of fluid, known as bursae, surrounding the joints become inflamed. This inflammation can lead to pain and limited mobility.
-
Fibromyalgia: Fibromyalgia is a condition characterized by widespread pain in the muscles and joints. It can cause chronic joint pain and stiffness.
-
Gout: Gout is caused by elevated levels of uric acid in the blood, leading to the formation of crystals in the joints. This can result in intense pain, swelling, and stiffness.
-
Tendinitis: Tendinitis is the inflammation of tendons, which are the tissue cords connecting muscles to bones. It can cause joint pain and limited range of motion.

How Chiropractic Care Helps Joint Pain
Chiropractic care focuses on the alignment and function of the musculoskeletal system, including the joints. By addressing joint misalignments and imbalances, chiropractors can alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and improve overall joint health. At Active Life Chiropractic, we implement a variety of treatments to help patients find relief from joint pain.

Chiropractic Adjustments
Chiropractic adjustments are a core component of joint pain treatment. These manual manipulations of the spine and other joints help restore proper alignment and motion. By realigning and manipulating the joints, joint motion can be restored leading to decreased pain and improved joint function.
*
Joint Mobilizations
In addition to chiropractic adjustments, joint mobilizations may be utilized to further enhance joint health. This gentle technique involves using controlled movements to stretch and loosen the joints. Joint mobilizations can help reduce pain, inflammation, and stiffness.
*
Therapeutic Exercises
To strengthen the muscles surrounding the joints and improve range of motion, chiropractors may recommend specific therapeutic exercises. These exercises target the affected joints and help promote healing and increased stability.
*
Massage Therapy
Massage therapy is known for its ability to improve blood circulation and reduce inflammation. By targeting the soft tissues surrounding the joints, massage therapy can alleviate muscle tension, increase flexibility, and provide relief from joint pain.
*
Ultrasound Therapy
Ultrasound therapy utilizes sound waves to penetrate deep into the tissues, promoting healing and reducing inflammation. This non-invasive treatment can effectively relieve joint pain and improve overall joint function.
