Joint Pain Treatment

Joint Pain Treatments from Your Cornelius Chiropractor

Most people associate chiropractic treatment with back and neck injuries. While a chiropractor is certainly well-equipped to help you treat back pain, you may not realize that chiropractic care can also be excellent for treating joint pain. Chiropractic techniques and associated therapies may be ideal for helping you minimize or eliminate your joint pain, and get back to doing the things you love!

Joint Pain

Understanding Joint Injuries

There are numerous joints throughout the human body, including fixed joints, cartilaginous joints and synovial joints. Cartilaginous joints, like those in your spine, and synovial joints, like those in your knees and shoulders, are the most common types of joints that are painful. Because they move and flex, they are prone to injury and/or can wind up moving incorrectly in a way that causes excessive stress and discomfort. Over time the injuries and pain can worsen, leading to a loss in quality of life and functionality.

The three most common causes of joint injuries are:

Accidents

Car accidents, sports accidents and workplace accidents can all cause damage to your joints. Even minor slips, falls or jerks can negatively impact the function of your joints and lead to pain. You may not realize that you have been injured, only to discover that one of your joints is causing you pain in the weeks after your accident.

Repetitive Motion Injuries

Many people complain of joint pain after repetitive motions. Office workers get pain in the wrists and elbows, movers complain of knee pain, etc.

Improper Body Mechanics

Improper body mechanics can also lead to joint pain. If you move your joint over and over in a way that is not ideal for its design, it can lead to pain.

Making Sure Your Joints Operate Properly

Our chiropractic center works with patients who experience joint pain, providing effective treatments to relieve pain and aid in healing. Some of the treatments we provide include:

Manual Adjustments

Your chiropractor can manually adjust your knee, shoulder, elbow, wrist or other joints to encourage proper function. There are a variety of techniques to improve range of motion, encourage healing and reduce pain. Once your chiropractor understands the nature of your injury, he or she can apply the appropriate technique to get you relief.

Massage Therapy

Massage can greatly reduce tension in the soft tissues surrounding the joint. Massage can not only improve range of motion and reduce pain, it can also help keep your adjustment in place.

Rehabilitation Exercises

Sometimes the best long-term treatment for joint pain is retraining your body mechanics. We can show you exercises that will strengthen the muscles around your joint to provide better support.

I can't Recommend this place enough."
