Chiropractic Treatment for Joint Pain

The body's joints are the meeting points of your bones, places that provide crucial support and enable free movement in various directions. Joints consist of soft tissue, such as cartilage, ligaments, and tendons; however, stiffness and joint pain can make it problematic to complete simple daily tasks. If you live in the greater Lemont, IL, area and find joint pain disrupts your ability to enjoy life or to stay committed to an exercise routine, Dr. Adam Bezanis at the Lemont Chiropractic Center can help optimize your joint function.

Common Reasons for Joint Pain

Joint pain is common and may be caused by an injury, a medical disorder, or degeneration, although, its prevalence increases with age. The most common reason for joint pain is arthritis, which simply means joint inflammation. Symptoms of arthritis will vary; however, the condition is characteristically chronic, which means it will likely worsen with time.

The two primary types of arthritis stem from entirely different reasons -

• Osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease resulting from the erosion of joint cartilage. It is the most common type of arthritis for individuals 40+ years old.
•  Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease, meaning the immune system mistakenly attacks your body’s tissues, including joint lining. RA afflicts women three times as often as men.

Note that arthritis may be the solitary root cause of joint pain. Yet, joint pain may also occur due to -

• Injuries/Trauma.
• Overuse of the joint.
• Fibromyalgia.
• Tendinitis.
• Osteoporosis.
• Infectious diseases.
