Chiropractic care for osteoarthritis in Grimsby 

Osteoarthritis, arthritis and wear and tear – are all one in the same. Osteoarthritis is a condition that tends to be progressive and chronic if left unchecked. Studies have shown the chiropractic treatment for osteoarthritis of the hips and knees have considerable relief of symptoms. 

Symptoms

One of the first signs of osteoarthritis in the hip and knee is stiffness, which tends to be worse in the morning after a nights sleep but easing with activity. Other signs include increasing level of pain in the hip area that may extend into the groin area, pain shooting down the thighs, and pain in the knee joints. Although it is not uncommon for the knees to be the first place the pain is felt, and some patients may not even feel any hip pain until later. Patients will also often tell us they know when the weather is going to be bad because they can ‘feel it in their joints’.

Treatment

Imagine a car tyre that isn't aligned correctly, it can sometimes be only a few millimetres and driven round the block once or twice can feel fine, but if driven for 20,000 miles with poor alignment the tyre is going to wear unevenly as one part of the tyre is having to do more work than another.

While hip and knee osteoarthritis is not curable at this time, it is very much manageable with the help of chiropractic treatment. Chiropractic treatment of osteoarthritis focuses on correct movement of the joints, making sure everything moves smooth and in balance.
