Chiropractor Austin TX Brian Clark

Human joints include ball and socket joints, gliding joints, hinge joints, and saddle joints. Given the intricate systems that keep it all running, it's no surprise that joint discomfort is a major concern. Inflammation is the major cause of joint discomfort, according to Austin TX chiropractors.


JOINT INFLAMMATION AND HOW IT AFFECTS YOU IN Austin TX

Inflammation is a typical immune system reaction. Inflammation can help your body heal after an injury. But it is also possible for current inflammation to worsen, which is undesirable.

Arthritis is the most prevalent kind of joint inflammation. Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis are the two most common forms. Osteoarthritis is joint wear and tear caused by injury, misuse, or age. Inflammation in the joints caused by the immune system is referred to as rheumatoid arthritis.


DIETS THAT OFTEN MAKE INFLAMMATION WORSE

Certain foods cause joint inflammation in many persons. Some foods may be restricted if you have joint inflammation. Ingredients to avoid include refined wheat, MSG (monsodium glutamate), gluten, and alcohol. Certain diets have been effective in lowering inflammation.


HOW CAN CHIROPRACTIC CARE HELP INFLAMMATION?

Discover Chiropractic employs joint manipulations to alleviate inflammation and address the source of joint discomfort. Because every patient and scenario is unique, therapies are tailored to maximize impact. Ultrasound or freezing treatments are sometimes used in the inflammation treatment plan.

Reducing joint pressure by strengthening surrounding muscles can also help reduce joint inflammation. Yoga, tai chi, and Pilates can all help strengthen and lengthen muscles. This will rest the damaged joints and lessen overuse discomfort and edema. The first step is to schedule an appointment with your chiropractor so they can examine the condition and develop a treatment plan for your joint inflammation.
