If You Have Arthritis, Consult a Chiropractor at Health On Earth Wellness Centers

Do your knees alert you to a change in the Chicago weather forecast? Do you have shooting pains that seem to emanate from one or both hips? If so, you may be one of the many people who suffer from arthritis. While we currently have no cure for this debilitating condition, there is a treatment that can slow its progress, reduce discomfort, improve your range of motion, and give you back your life again. You can get this natural, drug-free treatment from a chiropractor.

If your pain and stiffness symptoms seem to be coming on gradually with age, you may have osteoarthritis. Many of our bones have a protective layer of cartilage on each end that allows for easy joint movement. But after years of wear and tear, or following an injury, that layer of cartilage can degenerate, allowing the bones to rub painfully against each other. Many factors can contribute to or aggravate the pain and progression of osteoarthritis, including spinal misalignments that throw the body off balance. If you experience more pain and stiffness in one hip or knee than the other, you may be wearing that side out more rapidly because of just such an imbalance.

Pain Management and More

Chiropractic adjustment restores your body to its correct vertical balance. At Health On Earth Wellness Centers, when we manipulate the spine back into its proper alignment, the corrected weight distribution takes that extra nagging pressure off of arthritic joints, helping with pain management while slowing the rate of deterioration. Our adjustments also remove pressure from irritated spinal nerves that may be contributing to your pain. If you live in Tinley Park, Crestwood or surrounding areas and suffer from back pain, neck pain or osteoarthritis, we want to be your resource for Chicago chiropractic care.
