Wear & Tear – Arthritis

Chiropractic can’t stop you getting old … but it might stop you feeling it!

Many people will experience some wear and tear or osteoarthritis as they get older. Unfortunately, many patients who visit the Spine & Joint Centre have been told that they have pain due to ‘arthritis’ and they will just have to ‘put up with it’ or ‘live with it’.

However, do they need to just put up with the pain?

Damage to the cartilage and bone is usually the cause of degenerative arthritis also know as osteoarthritis. Often little os even no pain is felt as the body generally compensates for this. This can even be the case when the wear and tear is quite advanced.Some stiffness may be noticed in the affected. This may especially be in the morning or after being inactivity for a period or evenwhen the weather changes.

From time to time patients visitng the Spine & Joint Centre have been previously dignosed incorrectly with ‘arthritis’. Their pain is not due to wear and tear it is caused by a simple joint dysfunction.

Putting a stop to it

Degeneration of joints cannot be reversed. However your Chiropractor at the Spine & Joint Centre can help to improve joint and muscle function. This can make a significant difference to pain and stiffness.

When you visit the Spine & Joint Centre your Chiropractor will ask you questions about your pain, medical history, posture and lifestyle. Your chiropractor will then carry out a fully and thorough examination to discover the cause of your pain. Once they have done this the chiropractor will be in a position to offer a diagnosis of your complaint.

If treatment is indicated, your chiropractor will begin your treatment often with gentle, specific adjustments (the chiropractic word for manipulation). These manual adjustments are done to free stiff joints and myofascial release techniques to help the function of the muscles.

Following your treatment your Chiropractor will advise you of specific exercises to strengthen weak muscles and stretch tight muscles to improve flexibility.

I am continuing to see them for follow up treatment and to monitor my progress. The clinic is hygenic, bright and well situated. Thanks again to the team at this clinic for helping me on my journey to better mobility!

I recently visited the Spine and Joint Centre for my lower back pain where I was treated by Dr Hogan. After just a few visits, I could feel gradual alleviation in my back pain and I am now pain-free. I highly recommend the Spine and Joint Centre to anyone dealing with lower back pain.

I started back in 2021 and have been seeing Dr Rishi who has solved all my problems and made me better than I was. It’s always nice seeing the staff and having a chat as they are very welcoming too. I would highly recommend if a chiropractor is needed.

I recently injured my back, and had difficulty standing straight. When i called they made an appointment, they made one for me the next day. After a few sessions with Dr Rishi i was able to stand up straight without the use of a walking stick. If you have back and mobility issues i would reccomend this clinic if you are in the area.

I can’t thank Dr Rishi enough for treating my elderly mother who was in agony with neck nerve pain radiating down her arm. After being disheartened by GP’s, I am so grateful for everyone who has left a google review and recommended the spine and joint centre and Dr Rishi. After the first treatment, my mother felt relief and had hope that she will be relieved of the pain. It has also been a great comfort for my mother because Dr Rishi speaks Punjabi and can speak to her directly without me having to translate for her. We will continue to see Dr Rishi for routine chiropractic care and I do not hesitate to recommend the Spine and Joint Centre for anyone looking for great patient care. The full team and receptionists are exceptional and customer service is professional, helpful with a patient-centred approach.
