The Natural Approach to Healing Arthritis Pain from Spinal Degeneration

Arthritis pain and spinal degeneration can significantly impact your quality of life, making everyday activities challenging. At Powerhouse Mind Body Chiro, we take a holistic approach to identify and treat the underlying causes of these conditions, aiming for long-term relief and improved well-being.

What causes Arthritis & spinal degeneration

Arthritis and spinal degeneration are not simply age-related issues. They are primarily caused by wear and tear resulting from continuous stress on poorly aligned joints and mechanical dysfunction. Key causes include:

  1. Positional and Mechanical Issues:

    • Poor posture during activities such as sitting, driving, using a computer, or looking at a phone can lead to joint stress and misalignment.

    • Inappropriate sleeping positions and the use of unsuitable pillows can exacerbate these conditions.

    • Prolonged postures can cause the position of our joints to change, leading to the shortening of muscles and postural issues over time.

  2. Joint Misalignment:

    • Continuous stress on misaligned joints accelerates the degeneration process.

    • When joints are not properly aligned, they do not move correctly, leading to uneven wear on cartilage and other joint structures.

  3. Overuse and Overworking:

    • Repeated strain on the joints without adequate rest and recovery can lead to inflammation and degeneration of joint tissues.

    • This includes the impact of overtraining in athletes or the repetitive motions in certain jobs.

  4. Injuries:

    • Trauma to the joints, such as sprains, fractures, or dislocations, can initiate degenerative changes, leading to arthritis over time.

  5. Inflammation:

    • Chronic inflammation, often due to poor diet, stress, or underlying health conditions, can exacerbate the wear and tear on joints, accelerating the degeneration process.

Powerhouse Approaches to Relief

At Powerhouse Mind Body Chiro, we adopt a comprehensive and personalized approach to manage arthritis pain and spinal degeneration. Our natural solutions include:

  • Misaligned joints can contribute to uneven stress and accelerated degeneration.

    Chiropractic adjustments help realign the joints, improving their function and reducing pain.

    Studies have demonstrated that chiropractic care can enhance joint mobility and reduce arthritis-related symptoms.

  • Tailored movement flows, stretching, and corrective exercises can relieve joint pressure, enhance flexibility, and strengthen the muscles supporting the joints.

    Home care rehabilitation is essential for promoting healing through improved joint mechanics and tissue repair.

    Our in-depth assessments help us understand your specific needs and create a personalized rehabilitation plan.

  • Evaluating and improving posture during work, driving, using technology, and sleeping can significantly reduce joint strain.

    Recommendations for appropriate pillows and sleeping positions are crucial to prevent further joint degeneration.

  • Modifying activities that contribute to joint stress and counterbalancing non-negotiable activities with movement flows and recuperation can mitigate the effects of repetitive stress and overuse.

  • Massage therapy, fascial maneuvers and even self lymphatic massage can relax tight muscles, reduce inflammation, and improve circulation, offering relief from arthritis pain.

    It is important to use massage and soft tissue therapy appropriately to avoid exacerbating the condition.
