Chiropractic Care for Rheumatic Diseases

The term Arthritis is used to describe over 100 rheumatic diseases. The most common type of clinically diagnosed arthritis is a non-inflammatory condition known as Osteoarthritis. Rheumatoid Arthritis is a common type of inflammatory arthritis. It is estimated that more than 50 million adults suffer from some form of clinical arthritis. Older adults make up the largest percentage of arthritis sufferers. Another nearly 300 thousand children have arthritis or another type of rheumatic condition. Fortunately, there are several different options for Managing Arthritis Pain and Symptoms. Chiropractic Care for Arthritis at Minneapolis’ own Nokomis Chiropractic and Wellness& and Wellness can be beneficial in several ways.

Arthritis Diagnosis

Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis and many other rheumatic diseases are diagnosed by using a combination of diagnostic tools such as x-rays, blood work, physical exam and patient history.

Benefits Of Chiropractic Care for Arthritis Pain

Chiropractic Adjustments can help to ease pressure on sensitive nerves that travel down the spine. Proper alignment of your spine also helps to alleviate stress on joints and increase mobility.
