Joint Inflammation
Joint inflammation (swelling) is a major component in your overall health. It can take a heavy toll on your back, neck and joints. Joint inflammation not only can cause you pain but limit your range of motion in the body. This makes everyday activities such as sleep, chores, work, and exercise more challenging than usual.
There are two main causes of joint inflammation in which affect the bones, tendons, ligaments and discs. Chronic injury and repetitive stress injuries force the body into a healing process by supplying increased blood and nutrients to the area in need. This immediate response is beneficial, however, when inflammation remains chronically, it decreases the overall healing process within the body. This chronic inflammation can cause a number of conditions including neck and back pain, headaches, knee and shoulder pain, and other joint problems.
There are several treatment options to consider when dealing with joint inflammation.
OTC medications- This option is the most common choice for people dealing with inflammation. Anti-inflammatory drugs provides a temporary relief for those who are trying to remove inflammation. However, once the effects of the drug wear off, the pain and symptoms come back. OTC medication does not fully correct the problem rather provide a short term solution to joint inflammation.
Chiropractic care- Chiropractic care not only addresses the issue of inflammation but also looks at the underlying problem. Inflammation is the result of an old or repetitive issue. Chiropractic care can heal tissues properly, remove pressure from the nerves, and restore proper joint alignment.
