Joint Pain Treatments from our Brentwood Chiropractor
Our Brentwood chiropractor offers customized treatment programs that are designed to heal your injuries or reduce the symptoms of your chronic joint ailment. This is accomplished by making an accurate diagnosis via a patient history and physical examination.
Chiropractic Adjustments
Extremity joints that are out of alignment are prone to moving improperly, which can increase your risk for a joint injury and cause inflammation in the soft tissues surrounding the joints. Correcting these misalignments with chiropractic adjustments helps maximize the range of motion of the joint while lowering localized inflammation.
Massage Therapy
Tight muscles and ligaments can contribute to joint pain. By releasing knots in the muscles and breaking apart scar tissue through massage, we are helping to improve the range of motion of your joints and lower your overall pain.
Nutrition and Weight Loss
Losing weight can help reduce joint pain, especially in the knees. According to Healthline, every extra pound lost, reduces the stress on your knees by up to four pounds, and losing as little as 10 pounds has been proven to noticeably lower knee pain.
