Joint Pain Treatment in Houston
Joint pain is something almost everyone will experience at least once in their lifetime, especially as we age. This discomfort occurs because we use our joints daily, and things such as stress, exercise, and natural wear and tear on our bones are all factors that contribute to this.
And let’s not forget the most common reason for joint pain—arthritis. Approximately one in every four adults diagnosed with arthritis state that they have experienced this. This is debilitating and can cause a lower quality of life, so it’s crucial to address the problem with gentle touch chiropractic.
Types of Chiropractic Care
Some forms of chiropractic care include joint mobilization, spinal manipulation, stretching and massage therapy, or cold/heat therapies. Some of these are perfect for the patient’s condition, while others are not recommended.
For example, for anyone suffering from inflammation in or around the joint, spinal manipulation could cause more harm than good. Also, someone with fragile bones should not be subjected to the harsh “cracking” technique. Chiropractic care may be an excellent solution depending on your current needs and condition.
How We Address Osteoarthritis
One of the most common types of arthritis is osteoarthritis. This condition occurs when the joints within the bones wear down, thus changing the bone’s structure and form.
Osteoarthritis is a natural wear and tear condition that happens with age and the use of the joint. This condition gradually progresses and gets worse. In more extreme cases, osteoarthritis causes limited use and, eventually, long-term disability.
Sometimes, chiropractic care will help ease the pain and symptoms associated with osteoarthritis. If this results from how the joint is positioned or causes pressure on certain areas of your bones, chiropractic care may treat the discomfort. However, if this is because of lost cartilage, this type of care cannot restore what was lost to remedy the pain.
How Chiropractors Can Help
Suppose you’re looking for a way to ease your discomfort without resorting to addictive medications. In that case, chiropractic care may be the optimal solution for you. Chiropractic is an effective, non-invasive method of treating pain within the affected area.
Soft Tissue Therapy & Active Therapy for Mobility and Joint Pain
Treating pain caused by joint degeneration is tricky. Trying just one method will limit your success and won’t work for people with various types of joint pain. We focus on a two-step process of treatment that starts with diagnosis and ends with successful treatment.
Treatment includes training and strengthening weak muscles and applying heat/cold therapy to soft tissues that need external relief. Our treatment plan is a comprehensive plan that addresses all the areas causing pain.

Gentle-touch chiropractic may be the perfect solution for you. If you’re not a fan of traditional medicinal approaches to pain or if you hate feeling sore after your chiropractic adjustment, gentle chiropractic care is an excellent option.
You can finally feel pain-free adjustments while also benefiting from the effects of chiropractic care.
