Townsville’s leading chiropractic clinic, Spinal Works, work with clients to find pain relief and restore movement and functionality in arthritis-affected areas.

Stages of spinal degenerationArthritis encompasses over 100 medical conditions, both rare and common, that impact our muscles and joints. The two most prevalent forms of arthritis are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. The main point of difference between these forms of arthritis is how symmetrical the joints are.

Osteoarthritis results from the wearing down of the cartilage in the joint between two bones. Osteoarthritis is generally more prevalent in an singular joint. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that attacks and damages the linings of a joint. Unlike osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis typically affects multiple joints at a time. In addition to treating arthritis, we also provide chiropractic treatment for lumbar spondylosis which affects the lower back.

Chiropractic care is proven to be one of the most beneficial treatment methods for arthritis. The Spinal Works Chiropractic team works holistically to fight arthritic pain, improve flexibility, and release tension in affected joints. From our point of view, arthritis does not need to be part of the normal aging process. Through our chiropractic care, we are determined to prevent further arthritic development so you can move easily and comfortably without pain.

Arthritis is a long-term condition generally caused by wear and tear of the joint over time or by an autoimmune disease. While there is no cure, chiropractic care can assess your specific condition and focus on improving your overall health and well-being to alleviate your arthritis symptoms, ensuring you have the best quality of life possible.

Our chiropractic team focus on realigning the impacted parts of the body to relieve the tension that has built up over time. Patients benefit from our chiropractic care through reduced inflammation, improved joint flexibility, and pain relief in affected areas.

We recognise that not everyone responds to treatments the same way. For example, some see significant benefits from traditional chiropractic adjustments, while other people’s symptoms improve from dry needling chiropractic treatments. That’s why your Spinal Works chiropractor will work with you to understand the cause of the pain and provide a customised treatment plan to manage and reduce arthritis symptoms, so you can be on your way to pain-free living.
