3 Tips to Manage Arthritis | Chiropractor for Arthritis in West Omaha, NE
Hi, I’m Dr. Jeremiah Sample with Family First Chiropractic. Today, I want to talk a little bit about how chiropractic care can help with arthritis symptoms. More than 100 million Americans will suffer from some form of arthritis this year alone.
Understanding Arthritis
Let’s be straight: arthritis is a degenerative condition. While you can’t cure it or erase damage already done, there are things you can do to help mitigate the problems it causes.
How Chiropractic Can Help
- Keep Moving: Arthritis often develops when joints are immobile or unstable. To prevent the formation of bony fibers, called osteophytes, it’s important to keep your joints moving.
- Watch Your Diet: Too much sugar and processed foods lead to increased inflammation in your body, that worsens arthritis. Keeping a healthy diet can help keep inflammation at bay.
- Consult a Chiropractor: Manipulating certain joints may be out of your reach by yourself. A professional chiropractor will adjust misaligned joints and correct subluxations, thereby improving the health of your nervous system in handling arthritis.
