Arthritis strikes young and old alike: according to statistics from 2008, 4.3 million Canadians over the age of 12 have been diagnosed with osteoarthritis (“wear and tear arthritis”), with young people developing osteoarthritis from conditions such as injuries, genetic deformities and various joint malformations. To try to prevent arthritis, it is crucial to participate in regular physical activity and avoid risk factors for common diseases that are often associated with arthritis such as heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and obesity. A chiropractor will help treat arthritis through gentle spinal adjustments to increase range of motion, decrease muscle spasm and temporarily relieve pain, which is why it’s important, even if you’re just starting to feel the initial effects of arthritis, that you visit a licensed chiropractor and chat with them about the preventative and remedial options available to you. 

Since arthritis strikes young and old patients alike, a chiropractor will help by encouraging patients of all ages to take the proper steps to prevent arthritis through a healthy lifestyle and regular activity and exercise. It is important to find a qualified chiropractor with a good deal of experience and who offers a free consultation, as a free initial consultation gives the patient an opportunity to ask any questions and to feel perfectly comfortable before a treatment plan is developed and treatment is started. At this free consultation, the focus is on addressing each patient’s medical background and individual health concerns, and the consultation usually includes a review of your medical and surgical history, an explanation of the treatment modalities available (which you can check out at http://www.transformchiropractic.com/ online) and the expected outcomes and answers to questions regarding general chiropractic care, treatment costs and insurance coverage. 

Upon completion of the free consultation, the patient can decide whether to proceed with the recommended treatment. Rather than focusing treatment on simply alleviating the symptoms of a condition like arthritis, a different type of treatment called “Structural Correction” has been developed which is very useful and highly effective. “Structural Correction” addresses the underlying structural shifts of the spine, which often involves correcting misalignments or subluxations of the individual vertebrae of the spine. Rather than treating superficial symptoms, this gets to the “root” of the problem to correct it on a deep level to prevent it from recurring, leaving the patient feeling a deeper sense of wellbeing.  

As mentioned, a chiropractor will help by meeting with the patient and providing a free consultation to review the patient’s medical history and formulating the best possible treatment plan. This can often involve “Structural Correction” which gets to the “core” of the problem fixing “Structural Shifts” and providing significant pain relief and return of function. There is nothing more satisfying for a treating Chiropractor then to see a patient relieved of crippling pain and returned to a comfortable and productive life. And indeed, there is nothing more freeing, more calming and restoring than being able to function properly, with no pain and a full range of motion, allowing you to enjoy time exercising outdoors or with loved ones.
