In the past, populations most afflicted with osteoarthritis included the elderly, women, the physically inactive, overweight individuals and those with low educations. A recent study, however, “found that arthritis was more common among several groups not not recognized consistently in previous studies to have prevalence rates for arthritis: separated and divorced people, those out of work or unable to work, and current and former smokers.”

ABOUT OSTEOARTHRITIS
Almost everyone over the age of 50 suffers to some degree from this degenerative disease.
A non-inflammatory form of arthritis, OA can have a degenerative effect on one or more joints. This includes the loss of cartilage and the proliferation of bone spurs.
SYMPTOMS OF OSTEOARTHRITIS
Symptoms include joint pain (especially after exercise or use), stiffness and tenderness. The areas most affected are the hips, knees and spine.
SOINS CHIROPRATIQUE POUR L'ARTHROSE
Chiropractors adapt the “wellness attitude,” which emphasizes prevention rather than masking pain with medication. This holistic approach to disease prevention includes nutrition, exercise and stress reduction.
Spinal health is the foundation of a wellness lifestyle. A subluxation of the spine, if left uncorrected, can lead to osteoarthritis. Chiropractic adjustment preserves joints from osteoarthritis by promoting proper range of motion and natural lubrication.
A truly effective and conservative approach to treating osteoarthritis should include chiropractic care, exercise and supplements. Call for your appointment to learn how chiropractic exams can help improve your health.
