ARTHRITIS TREATMENT
FOR THE SOHO, TRIBECA & MANHATTAN, NYC COMMUNITIES

Arthritis is a degenerative joint disease that can affect any joint area, including the wrists, knees, and hips. Nearly one in five Americans suffer from some form of arthritis. If you are experiencing symptoms of arthritis and are interested in learning about our treatment options, contact the team at Spring Street Chiropractic today.


We provide chiropractic care for conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) that focuses on easing any pain or stiffness you are experiencing from swollen joints. We create a treatment plan to provide you relief that is based on your individual needs.

CHIROPRACTIC CARE FOR RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS

Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disorder in which the immune system attacks the joints. Instead of degrading the cartilage, the immune system attacks the lining within the joints. This lining is what promotes a smooth, gliding movement. As the tissue becomes inflamed and swollen, the joint is stretched and displaced. The end result is inflammation and painful joint motion. Rheumatoid arthritis often affects joints on both sides of the body and is commonly seen in the hands.


Chiropractic adjustments are a fantastic way to provide much-needed relief when dealing with the pain of RA. Each chiropractic adjustment performed is unique to each individual’s needs. Adjustments are also a non-invasive, non-addictive, and safe option compared to other treatment options such as prescription opioids - which are commonly prescribed to patients to help them manage their pain.


  • Chiropractic adjustments help restore proper functioning of the nervous system, which helps prevent the body’s immune system from attacking itself.
  • One of the symptoms of RA is decreased range of motion - and a chiropractic adjustment can help to restore restrictions in joints while decreasing inflammation and associated pain.


How A Chiropractor Can Help With Arthritis Pain

Across the United States, 24% of adults suffer from arthritis or arthritic pain daily. This means that 58.5 million people go about their day experiencing joint pain throughout their bodies that can hinder their productiveness. For many, arthritis can be so painful that people opt to miss out on important life events due to the fear of being in discomfort. At Spring Street Chiropractic, we have helped hundreds of patients who suffer from arthritis in the Manhattan, SoHo, and Tribeca, NY areas with regular chiropractor appointments to help achieve a more functional form of pain treatment.


Many people believe the only form of treatment given by chiropractors are adjustments, however, our chiropractors are specially trained in ultrasound, electrotherapy, laser treatments, and infrared treatments. Each patient at Spring Street Chiropractic has different needs and lifestyles, therefore we work alongside you to create a course of action to make the quality of each day better.

SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT TODAY

If you suffer from rheumatoid arthritis and are searching for a treatment plan that does not include pain medication or surgery, we are here to help. While taking painkillers or prescription medications can provide relief from the symptoms associated with arthritis, they only serve as a temporary solution. We can design a specialized treatment plan for your RA to help you maintain range of motion in arthritic joints, and, in some cases, restore some lost range of motion. 

 

If you are interested in learning more about chiropractic treatments for RA, call us to schedule an appointment today. We serve those throughout Manhattan, Tribeca, SoHo, and all the surrounding areas.
