Arthritis

Many people believe that arthritis is a geriatric condition however; arthritis is a condition that begins several years prior usually in a person’s younger age. The most common form of arthritis in the spine is a degenerative type known as Osteoarthritis. Many times, arthritis is the result of a misalignment or injured vertebral joint that does not heal correctly. Over time this improper motion and position of a segment will become destroyed and decayed until it is termed arthritis. Most arthritis can be avoided through a spinal check up. For sufferers with arthritis chiropractic care can help to relieve pain and increase motion. Please note that arthritis is not a curable disease.
