Arthritis Care in Edmonton
Joint pain, stiffness, swelling, and lack of movement are some common symptoms of arthritis, which refers to joint inflammation. Common causes of arthritis include joint injury, infection, and autoimmune disorders. There are over 100 different types of this inflammation, with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis being the most prevalent.
Arthritis can make performing everyday activities challenging, and many people turn to OTC or prescription medication to ease their pain. At Oxford Wellness Clinic, we offer effective chiropractic care if you’re looking for a natural way to relieve your discomfort. Perhaps best of all, our care doesn’t come with side effects that are associated with medication.

How Chiropractic Care May Help
While chiropractic adjustments can’t cure arthritis, they can address underlying issues that contribute to pain and stiffness:
- Improved joint mobility and range of motion: Misalignments in your spine can put undue stress on your joints, potentially worsening symptoms. Adjustments aim to restore proper spinal alignment, improve the range of motion in your joints, and decrease stiffness.
- Reduced pain and inflammation: Spinal misalignments can irritate nerves, contributing to pain and inflammation. Chiropractic adjustments may help improve nerve function, potentially reducing pain and inflammation associated with arthritis.
- Enhanced function for daily activities: Joint pain and stiffness can significantly impact daily life. Adjustments can improve joint mobility and reduce pain, helping you move with greater ease and participate in activities you enjoy.
- Improved balance and stability: Spinal misalignments can affect your balance and coordination. Chiropractic adjustments can help restore proper alignment, potentially improving balance and reducing the risk of falls, which can be a concern for people with arthritis.
Personalized Treatment Plans
Because every case of arthritis is unique, our chiropractors conduct thorough evaluations to understand your specific condition, pain points, and lifestyle. We then create customized care plans combining chiropractic adjustments, exercise recommendations, and self-care strategies to maximize mobility and well-being.
Complementary Therapy
While chiropractic care can’t replace traditional medical treatment, it serves as an effective complementary therapy. By addressing joint dysfunction and promoting mobility, chiropractic adjustments can help you manage inflammation naturally and improve your quality of life.
