A Charlotte Chiropractor Provides Relief For Joint Pain Sufferers

By Mark Marabut


A lot of people think that chiropractic care is only for back pain. Although chiropractors do receive training in treating back pain, especially lower back pain, chiropractic techniques are also useful for pain in the joints.

A spinal problem can also be the cause of pain in other areas of the body. They study how to find the pain's source, and then use spinal manipulations to help get rid of it. This type of pain is called referred pain, because it is often caused by a pinched nerve.

There are two methods that can be used to manipulate the joints: Manual techniques or techniques that use an instrument, called the Activator method. Often patients think the technique that uses an instrument is more gentle than the manual technique. Arthritic pain can be helped considerably with either one of these techniques. People with arthritis should avoid chiropractic care during a flare up and wait until the swelling ceases to see their chiropractor.

These doctors can help their patients with more than just spinal adjustments. They can teach them how to use nutrition to ease their joint pain, and they can help their patients lose weight in order to ease the pain in their knees.

They often prescribe exercises that can be done at home to help improve range of motion and strengthen the muscles around a joint, which can help avoid a recurrence of joint alignment problems. They do not use drugs of any kind, which means no side effects that can leave you drowsy or "fuzzy."

A Charlotte Chiropractor can help with any type of body pain, and he is not limited to just treating back pain. Whether your pain is in your elbows, shoulders, hips or knees, call for a consultation appointment to see what can be done to help relieve your pain. Solution your pain without the use of drugs, and learn to increase your range of motion, while bettering your overall health at the same time.
