Osteoarthritis Care in Joondalup & Yanchep
Our chiropractors at Biotune Chiropractic offer natural healthcare that considers your whole body, from head to toe. One common condition we often see is osteoarthritis, the most prevalent form of arthritis worldwide.
What Is Osteoarthritis?
Osteoarthritis is a joint condition that occurs when the protective cartilage at the ends of bones gradually wears down over time. It can affect any joint but is most frequently found in the hips, spine, hands, and knees. People with osteoarthritis often experience joint pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
While the joint changes caused by osteoarthritis cannot be reversed, symptom management is possible, helping you maintain a better quality of life.
Common Symptoms of Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis usually develops gradually and may worsen over time. Symptoms can include:
- A grating or grinding sensation in the joint
- Reduced mobility and flexibility
- Joint swelling and tenderness
- Pain and stiffness
- Numbness or discomfort in nearby areas
Symptoms often affect one side of the body more than the other and can impact daily activities and work over time.
Factors That May Worsen Osteoarthritis Symptoms
Certain activities or situations, such as prolonged sitting during long flights, drives, or at a desk, may increase discomfort. Pre-existing injuries or changes in weather can also influence symptoms.
How Chiropractic Care May Help
After a thorough evaluation, your chiropractor will discuss a personalised care plan tailored to your specific condition and needs.
Chiropractic adjustments aim to improve joint movement and support musculoskeletal function, which may help reduce discomfort and improve mobility. Soft tissue therapies can complement this by addressing muscles and connective tissues, potentially assisting with symptom relief.
In addition, your chiropractor can provide practical lifestyle advice, including workstation setup and sleep habits, tailored to your individual circumstances to help manage your symptoms.
