Joint Pain in Madison, OH
Injuries, or an underlying medical condition that affects the joints, such as arthritis, can cause joint pain to occur. It’s also quite normal for individuals to develop sore joints as they age. Joint pain is corrected by restoring range of motion and enhancing soft tissue healing. If you suffer from ongoing pain in your knees, back, hips or other joints, French Chiropractic and Wellness Center, located in Madison offers safe and effective treatment for joint pain in Painesville, Mentor and surrounding towns in Ohio.
What Causes Joint Pain?
The spot where bones (or cartilage) connect to one another is called a joint. Joints make up the areas between bones that allow them to move and function correctly. Within the body is a variety of joint types. Synovial joints, such as your hip joints, ankle joints, shoulder joints and spinal facet joints, have a wide range of motion and move in different directions. But there are other joints, such as the sutures that join together the bones of your skull, that hardly move at all. Properly moving joints allow for optimal performance of your muscles and ligaments. When joints are not moving as they should, muscles and ligaments suffer. They will try to shorten or elongate to compensate for the problem. This abnormal change in length causes them to leak out toxins into the surrounding nerves and tissues. As a result, you feel pain, and the dysfunction will continue to increase until the root cause is addressed.
Types of Joint Pain We Treat
What Causes Joints Not To Work Properly?
There are three main causes of joint problems. The first is mechanical damage. Injuries caused by bad falls and car accidents can lead to something called macro trauma while repetitive use of the joints can bring on micro trauma.
The second cause of joint issues is chemical damage. An inflammatory diet increases the likelihood of swelling and makes your joints more susceptible to injury.
Mental anxiety is the third primary cause of joint dysfunction. Stress can generate a host of complications, including back or neck pain and persistent headaches and stomach problems. Stress challenges the body on many levels, and it produces an environment of hormone and chemical imbalance in which it is difficult to preserve proper, healthy joint function.
Joint Pain Treatment
Joint pain is associated with a wide range of potential causes. This type of pain can be caused by old or recent injuries or inflammation due to gout, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis or other health conditions. In some cases, joint pain is mild and only causes minor problems, but, in other cases, pain can be severe enough to prevent you from doing routine activities. If joint pain is severe, it can limit your range of motion and make it uncomfortable for you to bend the affected joints. If this occurs, it can have a serious impact on your quality of life.
Whether you have back, hip or knee pain in Madison, we offer treatment that is both safe and effective at easing discomfort in the joints caused by injuries or illnesses. We offer chiropractic care, which is designed to bring all parts of your joint back into the proper alignment, including ligaments and tendons. When your joint is properly realigned, you can expect to begin feeling relief from pain and soreness. This alignment allows the nutrients that your body needs to recover to reach the affected area, which helps promote healing.
Chiropractic adjustments can help restore your full range of motion in addition to easing pain and stiffness. These adjustments are performed after you receive a full evaluation of your condition. This helps our Madison chiropractor determine which course of treatment will be the most effective for you. Chiropractic adjustments are considered a safe form of treatment for joint pain. They are not associated with the risks involved with other forms of treatment, such as prescription pain medication or surgery. Keep in mind that we might recommend having several adjustments done in order to fully relieve joint pain, depending on the severity of your condition. Adjustments are just one part of chiropractic care for joint pain, but we might also recommend other treatment methods. We also offer other types of treatment that can complement adjustments for more effective relief from stiffness and soreness. These include spinal decompression and therapeutic ultrasound. We can also provide you with guidance on adopting a healthier lifestyle in order to reduce your risk of having recurring joint pain.
