Degenerative Joint Disease Treatment in Edmonton
A highly common condition, degenerative joint disease (DJD), such as osteoarthritis, often leads to pain, stiffness, reduced mobility, and diminished quality of life. This disease involves the breakdown of cartilage in your joints, leading to discomfort and limited movement.
The Role of Chiropractic Care
Did you know that chiropractic care can be a powerful tool alongside traditional medical approaches in managing DJD? While chiropractic care cannot reverse this joint disease, it addresses underlying issues contributing to pain and stiffness. Here’s how chiropractic adjustments can help:
- Improved Joint Mobility and Range of Motion: Chiropractic adjustments aim to restore proper joint alignment, improving mobility and reducing pain associated with stiffness.
- Reduced Pain and Inflammation: Chiropractic adjustments can ease pain and inflammation caused by spinal misalignments by improving nerve function.
- Enhanced Body Mechanics and Posture: Chiropractic care helps identify and correct postural imbalances, reducing stress on affected joints and promoting better body mechanics.
- Improved Balance and Stability: Restoring proper alignment and enhancing proprioception can improve balance and reduce the risk of falls, a common concern for DJD patients.
