How Chiropractic Care Can Help Rheumatoid Arthritis

By Donna Stark

If you are looking for some signs of aging on your body, you can usually count on gray hair, fine lines, and deep wrinkles, but don't place any bets when it comes to arthritis because arthritis isn't always something that comes with age. In fact, rheumatoid arthritis isn't a normal part of aging at all! The underlying cause of rheumatoid arthritis is an immune system that just doesn't want to work the way it should, so it can essentially affect you at any stage in your life. But there is help and you can find it right down the street at The Joint Chiropractic!

Chiropractic Care for Rheumatoid Arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis is caused when the body's immune system does not work properly. Usually, your immune system is hard at work fighting the bacteria and foreign invaders that enter your body, but with rheumatoid arthritis, the immune system gets off track and attacks healthy cells that line your joints. This can lead to inflammation, stiffness, and painful swelling that can eventually result in joint degeneration. Unfortunately, there is no cure for rheumatoid arthritis, but chiropractic care has been shown to help patients manage it. Here are some of the benefits that come with regular chiropractic adjustments.

  • Restored nervous system - The nervous system is the master communication system in your body, so if there is any interference within it, the rest of the body (including your immune system) may be impacted. Removing the interference can help the communication signals flow free and clear and can improve the function of the immune system.
  • Increased motion - It should come as no surprise that the body's range of motion is decreased when its joints are swollen, stiff, and in pain, but that isn't anything your local chiropractor can't handle. Chiropractic adjustments help to restore movement to the joint. This is important because many patients that suffer from rheumatoid arthritis experience stiffness with inactivity and find that movement will often bring relief.
  • Decreased inflammation - Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disorder which can damage many different parts of the body. Reducing the amount of inflammation in the body is important and your local chiropractor can help you do that with chiropractic adjustments and healthy lifestyle tips.
