Arthritis is an incredibly common issue and you’ve surely heard of it before (if you don’t have it yourself), but it is also often misunderstood. Arthritis is defined as an inflammation in one or more joints, which can lead to stiffness, pain, and discomfort throughout the joints in your body. Arthritis symptoms often include stiffness, pain, joint swelling, and a decreased range of motion. These symptoms typically worsen with age, but the team at Wills Chiropractic can help.
As we mentioned, arthritis is often misunderstood. It is not one single disease as there are more than 100 different types and severities of arthritis.
MORE THAN 50 MILLION PEOPLE ARE AFFECTED BY ARTHRITIS, MAKING IT THE NUMBER ONE CAUSE OF DISABILITY IN THE UNITED STATES.
That may seem overwhelming, so we will narrow it down to two most common types of arthritis that respond well to chiropractic care.
- Rheumatoid Arthritis: a chronic inflammatory disorder in the joints
- Osteoarthritis: a degenerative disorder that affects joint cartilage flexibility
When you combine chiropractic care with self-care, you’ve got yourself an excellent defense against the pain and discomfort of arthritis.
At Wills Chiropractic, we have treated many patients with arthritis and are sought after as more and more people are looking for a natural, safe, non-invasive alternative to drugs. We provide our patients with non-addictive and gentle therapies designed to reduce inflammation which, in turn, leads to improved function of both the affected joints and the nervous system as a whole. When joint mobility is restored, your body will be better able to manage rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis symptoms.
WE OFFER MORE THAN JUST CHIROPRACTIC TO HELP WITH ARTHRITIS
Doctors may recommend staying away from inflamed joints, however there are a number of therapies chiropractors can use to relieve pain and swelling.
- Massage Therapy
- Manual Therapy
- Laser Treatments
- Minor Adjustments
We may not treat the specific arthritic joint. Sometimes treating the surrounding areas can relieve stress and pain in the inflamed joint.
Our patients report better flexibility, increased range of motion, decreased inflammation, and reduced discomfort and pain with the help of our services. For more information about chiropractic care and arthritis, send us a consultation request.

What Our Patients Say
What to Expect
Relief Chiropractic Care
When patients come to us in pain, our top priority is to help relieve that pain so they can find comfort and feel better. While some patients feel relief in as little as one visit, it can take 2-3 visits per week for 4-12 weeks to achieve lasting real pain relief.
Corrective/Restorative Chiropractic Care
Muscles and tissues heal more completely during the corrective care phase, which prevents and reduces the risk of further injury. This phase typically requires 4-8 visits per month for 6-24 months depending on the severity of the issue.
Wellness Chiropractic Care
Once your body has completely healed, periodic adjustments become an important part of your healthcare regimen to avoid problems in the future. Based on your lifestyle and goals, we hope to see you 1-4 times per month.
