Degenerative Arthritis

Your joints are cushioned by cartilage which helps to prevent friction. Over time, that cartilage can wear down, which can cause your joints to become inflamed. This painful condition is known as degenerative arthritis. At Elite Chiropractic & Wellness Center, you can get treatment for your chronic pain and other arthritis symptoms. Visit us in Beverly Hills, CA if you're ready to start pain treatment.

What Is Degenerative Arthritis?

There are many types of arthritis, but degenerative arthritis occurs when the flexible cartilage around your joints wears down. It's sometimes called osteoarthritis or degenerative joint disease.  

Once it starts developing, it can damage the cartilage, ligaments, tendons, and bone around the joint. If it occurs in the knee, it can also damage your meniscus, which are shock absorbers that protect your knee joint from damage. 

It can cause many painful symptoms, including pain, tenderness, stiffness, swelling, and a loss of flexibility. Since this is a degenerative disease, symptoms usually become more severe with time. While it can affect any joints, it's most likely to occur in the hands, knees, and hips. 

Like other types of arthritis, the severity of degenerative arthritis can vary. If the condition is severe, it could significantly restrict movement around the joint, making it difficult or impossible to move that joint. When the cartilage around your joint is inflamed, you may find that it's too painful to move your joint. 

How a Chiropractor Can Help Treat Degenerative Joint Disease

While there's no cure for degenerative arthritis, chiropractic care can make it easier to manage chronic pain and other osteoarthritis symptoms. Your chiropractor can make sure that all of your joints are properly aligned, which can help to reduce the wear and tear that degenerative joint disease can cause. 

In addition to making adjustments that will correct the alignment of your joints, muscles, and tendons, a chiropractor can help you with pain treatment. Your chiropractor can use manual therapies that will decrease inflammation around your joints. The pain that osteoarthritis causes can be debilitating, but with the help of a chiropractor, you may find that your pain is easier to manage. 

Rehabilitative exercises and stretches can help to strengthen the muscles surrounding the joints that are most severely affected by degenerative arthritis. This can provide your joints with extra support. Exercising the muscles around your joint can also improve joint mobility.
