Whether it’s stiffness in your hands, aching knees, or soreness in your spine, arthritis makes it harder to enjoy the activities you love. Many people think it’s just a normal part of aging, but the truth is that there are safe, natural ways to manage arthritis pain and improve your mobility.
What Is Arthritis?
Arthritis is a broad term for joint inflammation, and it comes in many forms. The most common is osteoarthritis, often called “wear and tear” arthritis, which develops when the cartilage cushioning your joints begins to break down. This can lead to pain, swelling, and stiffness that gets worse over time. Other types, like rheumatoid arthritis, are autoimmune conditions where the immune system mistakenly attacks the joints.
Why Does Arthritis Happen?
Age is one factor, but arthritis isn’t limited to older adults. Repetitive movements, past injuries, excess weight, poor posture, or even genetics can contribute. Once arthritis sets in, the discomfort may flare up with activity or cold weather, and without proper care, it can gradually reduce flexibility and quality of life.
How Chiropractic Can Help Arthritis
At Alexander Chiropractic and Wellness, we don’t just focus on pain—we focus on restoring function. Chiropractic adjustments can improve joint mobility, reduce inflammation, and ease the stress on surrounding muscles. By keeping your spine and joints properly aligned, we can help slow down further degeneration and improve your range of motion.
In addition to gentle adjustments, our team may use therapies such as Active Release Technique® (ART®) to ease tension in tight muscles, shockwave therapy to reduce inflammation and promote healing, or custom orthotics to support posture and reduce pressure on weight-bearing joints. Every care plan is tailored to the individual, because arthritis doesn’t look the same for everyone.
When Should You See a Chiropractor for Arthritis?
If stiffness or pain is limiting your daily activities—or if you’ve noticed your symptoms are worsening—it’s worth seeking chiropractic care. Many of our patients in Livermore, Pleasanton, San Ramon, Brentwood, and Manteca have found that combining chiropractic with healthy lifestyle changes helps them stay active and independent longer.
Dr. Matt Alexander, who has decades of experience caring for families across the Tri-Valley, shares: “Arthritis doesn’t have to mean a lifetime of pain. With the right approach, we can help patients move better, hurt less, and keep enjoying the things that matter most.”
