What Is Arthritis?

Arthritis is an umbrella term for joint inflammation. The two types we most often see are osteoarthritis, which is linked to wear and tear in the joints, and inflammatory arthritis, where the immune system can play a role. Arthritis can affect the spine, hips, knees, shoulders, hands, and other joints, often leading to pain, stiffness, swelling, and reduced range of motion.

How Arthritis Develops

Arthritis can develop for several reasons, including:

Aging and joint wear over time
Past injuries or repetitive stress
Poor posture or spinal misalignment
Muscle imbalances that increase joint strain
Inflammation and reduced joint mobility

When joints don’t move well, nearby tissues can become irritated, circulation can decrease, and discomfort often increases.

How Chiropractic Care Can Help

Chiropractic care does not cure arthritis, but it can make a meaningful difference in how you feel and function. Our approach focuses on improving joint motion, reducing stress on affected areas, and helping your body move more efficiently. Gentle, specific spinal and joint adjustments can support better alignment and mobility, ease stiffness, and reduce nerve irritation that may add to pain.

As Dr. Tim Bannon notes, “Helping joints move the way they are designed to move can reduce discomfort and improve quality of life, even for patients living with arthritis.”

Complementary Services for Comfort & Recovery

To help you get the most out of your care, we may combine adjustments with additional services such as:

Ultrasound therapy to support circulation and tissue recovery
Muscle stimulation to help reduce tension and discomfort
Active Release® Technique and Graston Technique to address tight or restricted soft tissues
Rehab exercises and practical nutrition guidance to support joint health over time

Your care plan is always customized, because arthritis can look different from person to person.
