Joint pain discomfort can often be felt in the hands, feet, hips, knees, or spine. This pain can range from minor soreness and achy joints to a severe burning and throbbing sensation. Joint pain may affect your quality of life and ability to live actively. Our treatments focus not only on the pain but on the affected muscles, bones, nerves, and ligaments that might be irritated or inflamed.
Joint pain manifests itself in a variety of ways. Unfortunately, the term tends to be used to describe a number of specific painful conditions as well as a general feeling of malaise or stiffness.

What Causes Joint Pain?
- Osteoarthritis, a common type of arthritis, occurs over time when cartilage (a protective cushion located between bones) wears away, causing joints to become painful and stiff. Osteoarthritis often develops slowly and usually occurs during middle age.
- Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic disease causing swelling and joint pain. Often the joints become deformed (usually occurring in the fingers and wrists).
- Gout is a painful condition in which crystals from your body collect in the joint itself, causing severe pain and swelling. This often occurs in the big toe.
- Bursitis can be caused by overuse of a joint and is usually found in the hip, knee, elbow, or shoulder joints.
- It’s possible that bacterial or viral infections may make joint movement painful.
- Recent or past injuries, such as broken bones or sprains, can cause pain.
- Tendinitis is an inflammation of the tendons, which are the flexible bands that connect muscles and bones. It often occurs in the heel, elbow, or shoulder and can be caused by overuse or repetitive motions such as those done in sports training or work.
How Can Chiropractic Services Help My Joint Pain?
Our chiropractic practice can treat joint pain, and set you on the path toward a lifetime of well-being. We do this in a variety of ways and utilize all the tools at our disposal such as:
Range of Motion Issues
Your pain and stiffness can be eased with chiropractic care and its complementary therapies, including massage, posture guidance, dry needling, red light therapy, and advice about diet and nutrition. Oftentimes the pain itself can be lessened through alternating application of heat and cold, rather than by medication.
Pain Relief
Individuals experience pain in different ways, and specific pain may be hard to describe. Chiropractic manipulation can reduce the stress on nerves and muscles, therefore reducing swelling or pain. Electrical stimulation and dry needling (similar to acupuncture) have also been proven effective. We work together to build and apply a comprehensive approach to bring relief to your joint pain.
Restorative Effects
Dietary and nutritional changes as well as a regular exercise program will benefit both your physical well-being as well as your mental health. It is never too late to change habits for the better. Our professional staff will work with you to institute lifestyle changes that assure a better future.
Reducing Drug Use
Even over-the-counter pain relief can have less-than-desirable effects over the long term, and prescription arthritis medications frequently produce unwanted side effects as well as having a substantial cost. By incorporating chiropractic care and other modalities into your care for joint pain, we can help reduce the number of medications you need each day to live comfortably.
At Home Exercises to Help Joint Pain
Managing joint pain at home can be effective with simple exercises designed to improve mobility and strengthen the muscles supporting your joints. Gentle stretching can help maintain flexibility and alleviate tightness around painful joints. Exercises like yoga and Tai Chi are excellent for improving balance and range of motion without putting too much strain on the joints. Strength training using light weights or resistance bands can bolster the muscles surrounding the joints, which helps to reduce the burden on the joints themselves. Additionally, low-impact aerobic activities such as walking, swimming, or using a stationary bike can increase blood flow and help keep joints flexible without causing further pain. It's important to start slowly and consult with a healthcare provider to ensure these exercises are safe and appropriate for your specific condition.
