Arthritis Explained

Arthritis is an umbrella term for inflammation and damage to the joints. The two most common types are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

Each with different causes but similar symptoms such as:

• Joint pain and tenderness
• Knee pain, Swelling and inflammation
• Reduced range of motion
• Stiffness, especially in the morning or after inactivity

If left untreated, arthritis can severely limit your ability to perform daily tasks and diminish your overall wellbeing.

Chiropractic Care for Arthritic Pain Relief

At our pain management clinic, we believe in treating arthritis holistically, starting with chiropractic care to help restore joint alignment, reduce inflammation, and improve mobility.

Our arthritis treatment options include:

Chiropractic Adjustments
Precise spinal and joint adjustments by Dr. Al Richard help realign affected areas, reduce pressure on nerves, and promote natural healing. These adjustments can decrease pain and improve joint function without medication or surgery.

Shockwave Therapy
This non-invasive treatment uses sound waves to stimulate blood flow, promote tissue repair, and reduce chronic inflammation in arthritic joints. Shockwave therapy is particularly helpful for stubborn pain and joint stiffness.

Class IV Laser Therapy
Class IV laser therapy uses targeted light energy to penetrate deep into tissues, accelerating healing and reducing inflammation. It’s a safe, painless method to ease arthritis symptoms and enhance joint recovery.

Advanced Regenerative Medicine for Severe Arthritis

For patients with more advanced or severe arthritis, our pain management clinic state-of-the-art regenerative medicine therapies designed to stimulate the body’s own healing mechanisms and repair damaged joint tissues.

These include:

• Human Cellular Tissue Therapy: HCT therapy is carefully sourced cells and growth factors that promote regeneration of cartilage and joint structures.
• PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy: PRP therapy Uses your own platelets to accelerate healing and reduce inflammation in arthritic joints.
• PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) Therapy: PRF therapy is an advanced form of PRP that provides longer-lasting and more potent healing effects.
• Exosome Therapy: Exosomes utilize extracellular vesicles to enhance cellular communication and regeneration within damaged joints.

These innovative treatments can reduce arthritis pain, improve joint function, and in many cases, delay or eliminate the need for joint replacement surgery.

Osteoarthritis: What You Should Know

Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis, often referred to as “wear-and-tear” arthritis. It develops when the protective cartilage cushioning your joints breaks down over time, leading to bone-on-bone friction.

Osteoarthritis commonly affects the knees, hips, hands, and spine, causing pain, swelling, and decreased mobility.

Early intervention is key to managing osteoarthritis effectively. Dr. Al Richard emphasizes a combination of chiropractic care and regenerative medicine to slow cartilage deterioration, relieve pain, and improve joint function.

Customized treatment plans address your unique condition, helping you maintain an active lifestyle despite osteoarthritis.
