Treat Chronic Joint & Muscle Pain with Chiropractic Care & Physical Therapy

Our chiropractors and therapists use different methods to treat chronic joint and muscle pain. Below are some approaches in treating this condition:

Chiropractic Treatment for Chronic Joint & Muscle Pain

Chiropractic care involves non-surgical techniques to alleviate pain due to injuries, illnesses, and one’s lifestyle. Due to their non-invasive nature, some patients turn to chiropractic procedures as alternatives to painkillers or prescription drugs.

  • Spine and Extremity Adjustment – Through spinal adjustments, our chiropractors can promote proper alignment to relieve stress from your spinal column and other joints of the body.
  • NormaTec Compression – This technology involves air pressure massage for muscle pain relief. Through the application of external pressure, our skilled specialists help increase blood circulation to affected areas.
  • Diet and Nutritional Counseling – A shortage of electrolytes, such as calcium, sodium, potassium, and magnesium, can cause cramps and muscle weakness. Since diet plays an essential role in every person’s well-being, your chiropractor may suggest lifestyle and diet modifications for a speedy and healthy recovery.

Chiropractic Care: An Alternative to Painkillers

Most patients take painkillers and prescription medications for chronic joint and muscle pains. Through chiropractic care, you can manage these musculoskeletal conditions effectively with less to no side effects.

  • Personalized Treatment Plans – Our chiropractors and therapists will ask for your in-depth medical information to provide you with the best treatment for your joint pain and myalgias. Besides, we will also run various diagnostic tests to identify risk factors so we can better inform you about your condition.
  • Holistic and Preventive Care – Aside from chiropractic techniques, we also offer physical therapy and rehabilitation services to ensure the best possible outcome and assist you in a speedy yet effective recovery.
  • Hydromassage – Some patients seek hydromassage for joint and muscle pain since it helps the body relax by reducing tension in the joints and muscles. With the proper amount of pressure, this technique can also increase the range of motion of the affected limbs and areas.

Physical Therapy for Joint & Muscle Pain

Physiotherapy or physical therapy focuses on improving movement and relieving pain. These treatments lead you to perform daily activities without discomfort.

  • Shockwave Therapy – This treatment involves the use of high-energy acoustic waves to alleviate extreme pain. Through these shockwaves, patients can manage joint swelling and muscle rigidity for pain-free mobility.
  • Therapeutic Exercises – Pilates is an example of a therapeutic system that’s safe for patients suffering from chronic joint and muscle pain. This low-impact exercise improves the range of movement and increases flexibility and muscle strength of one’s body.
  • Zero Gravity Treadmill – Here at LifeClinic, we also use assistive devices such as the anti-gravity treadmill. Unlike traditional sports equipment, this technology utilizes air pressure to support the patient, minimizing stress on the muscles.

Chiropractic and Rehabilitation Services for Joint & Muscle Pain

Here are special services that can help regain your mobility and maintain muscle and joint strength.

  • Muscle Strengthening – LifeClinic also offers various strengthening activities to promote joint and muscle health, increase stability, boost muscle strength, and prevent the recurrence of injuries.
  • Dry Needling Therapy – This treatment requires thin monofilament needles to inactivate a pressure point and reduce discomfort. It also increases blood circulation around the joint, allowing patients to breathe a sigh of relief.
  • Motion Exercises – After managing pain and discomfort, we recommend performing low-impact exercises to mobilize your joints and muscles to optimize overall body function.
