Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis Pain Relief at Euclid Medical Group

 

Osteoarthritis is the degeneration of the cartilage and bones of joints caused by “wear-and-tear” processes.

Osteoarthritis is often associated with degenerative changes in the disc and results in friction between adjacent vertebrae. The friction causes a strain as well as a loss of motion in the facets (gliding joints) of the spine. If these joints are exposed to continued trauma such as strenuous exercise, weakened muscles, and the inevitable factors of aging and heredity, the results can be severe low-back and/or leg pain.

While chiropractic cannot halt the process of osteoarthritis, we can improve the quality of life while living with the disease.

If you’re suffering from arthritis, your spine is usually less flexible; therefore, it becomes more vulnerable to injury. Under our care, your treatment may include spinal adjustments, physical therapy, and stretching and strengthening exercises. We can also recommend natural, drug-free ways to control your pain and discomfort.
