Arthritis – TOP Chiropractic Acupuncture

Arthritis doesn’t mean you have to stop moving — in fact, the right kind of movement and manual therapy is one of the most evidence-supported approaches for managing both osteoarthritis and inflammatory arthritis.

WHAT WE SEE

Osteoarthritis of the spine, hip, knee and shoulder · Rheumatoid arthritis — management alongside medical care · Psoriatic arthritis — conservative symptom management · Post-surgical joint stiffness · Age-related joint degeneration

HOW WE TREAT IT

For osteoarthritis, the goal is to maintain and improve joint range of motion, reduce muscular guarding and compensation, and slow the functional decline associated with disuse. Chiropractic mobilisation (gentle, low-force techniques adapted to arthritic joints) and acupuncture for pain modulation are both well-supported for OA management.
For inflammatory arthritis (rheumatoid, psoriatic), we work as part of your overall care team alongside your rheumatologist — conservative treatment can meaningfully reduce symptom burden between medical reviews.
