Chiropractic Treatment for Arthritis

Arthritis is inflammation of one or more of your joints. The main symptoms are joint pain and stiffness, which is why the condition may benefit from chiropractic treatment. Chiropractic is primarily used as a pain relief alternative for muscles, joints, bones, and connective tissue, such as cartilage, ligaments and tendons. However, because in some conditions and circumstances, chiropractic techniques can actually worsen the symptoms of arthritis, Dr. Christopher Brill will need to perform a thorough examination before suggesting proper treatment.

The main goals of arthritis treatments are to reduce symptoms and improve quality of life. There are several different types of arthritis and treatment will vary on the type that is diagnosed. Depending on the kind of arthritis you have, your signs and symptoms may include pain, stiffness, swelling, redness, and decreased range of motion. Specific chiropractic adjustments can take stress off your nervous system, allowing your body to rest relax and heal.

If you are suffering from arthritis pain, give us a call to discuss your treatment options.

Types of Disc Injuries

At Therapeutic Solutions, LLC, Dr. Christopher Brill and the rest of our team work tirelessly to educate our patients about their injury and all of their healing options. There are many forms of back injuries, but when it comes to disc injuries, treatment really depends on the type of injury you’ve sustained. We thought we’d explain a couple disc injuries so you know what to look for and hopefully better understand how chiropractic care can help ease the pain.

 

There are many different terms used to describe spinal disc injuries and associated pain. These terms include herniated disc, pinched nerve and bulging disc. Treatment for these conditions varies depending on the situation but they can often be corrected through spinal adjustments and manipulations.

 

A herniated disc refers to a problem with one of the discs between the vertebrae that stack up to make your spine. Spinal discs are often compared to a jelly donut because they have a softer center encased with a tough exterior. A herniated disc occurs when the softer “jelly” pushes out through a crack in the exterior. This condition often causes pain, numbness or weakness in the arms and legs. Pinched nerves are a direct result of a herniated disc as this injury produces pain called radicular pain (e.g., nerve root pain) leading to pain that may be referred to other parts of the body. Bulging discs are a very common condition treated by chiropractors and causes pain and discomfort in various parts of the body. Pressure from the central core of the disc can then stretch to the outer rim, causing the disc to bulge.

Hip Pain

Hip pain is a common condition that is experienced by our patients, though there are many different areas of the hip that are causing the pain. Some causes of hip pain we see include arthritis, bursitis, fractures of the hip, tendon strain and muscle strain. Dr. Christopher Brill here at Therapeutic Solutions, LLC provides chiropractic care to help relieve the pain and prevent further damage to the hip joint. In many situations, the hip pain is a result of the body being out of alignment.

The symptoms of hip pain not only include pain and stiffness in the hip, but also in the following areas of the body:

• Thigh


• Groin


• Buttocks


• Inside the hip joint


• Outside the hip joint

Chiropractic care helps our patients with hip pain through adjustments and manipulations, massage and preventative care. We locate the cause of the pain and use that to determine the best available treatment. We assess each case individually and work to prevent further pain episodes as much as possible. If you are experiencing hip pain and looking for a solution, call our Newport News office at 757-873-4131 for a free consultation or send us an email at drbrill.therapeuticsolutions@yahoo.com.

Arthritis

Arthritis

Arthritis was once thought to be an inherent part of the aging process.  However, this joint inflammation doesn’t mean that you need to slow down.  There are ways to prevent arthritis from developing and naturally relieve pain in patients already suffering from the condition.  We offer several chiropractic treatments that help you find relief and manage the effects of arthritis.

Exercise is one of the most important aspects of managing arthritis.  It keeps your joints and muscles strong and healthy.  By strengthening and promoting your body’s ability to heal, you are better able to function overall.  We also offer electrical muscle stimulation, inferential electro-therapy, and cryotherapy services to improve your flexibility and range of motion.  Here at Therapeutic Solutions LLC, we encourage patients to rely on us for non-invasive and effective arthritis treatment.  We invite you to visit our office to learn more about the arthritis treatments available to you and how chiropractic can help you manage arthritis and find relief.
