Understanding Osteoarthritis: Wear and Tear on Your Joints

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease that affects the cartilage, the smooth, slippery tissue that cushions the ends of bones in a joint. As cartilage breaks down, the bones can rub together, causing pain, inflammation, and stiffness. OA can affect any joint, but it most commonly affects the:

Knees

Causing pain and stiffness, especially during weight-bearing activities.

Hips

eading to groin or buttock pain, and difficulty with walking or climbing stairs.

Spine

Resulting in back or neck pain, and potential nerve compression.

Hands

Affecting finger joints, causing pain, stiffness, and the development of bony bumps.

Feet

Particularly the big toe and ankle, leading to pain and difficulty with walking.

Symptoms of Osteoarthritis

Joint pain

Often worse after activity or in the morning.

Stiffness

Especially after periods of inactivity.

Swelling

Around the affected joint.

Reduced range of motion

Difficulty moving the joint fully.

Grinding sensation

A clicking or cracking sound when the joint moves.

How Our Chiro Chiropractic & Musculoskeletal Services Brisbane Can Help

Our experienced chiropractors take a holistic approach to managing osteoarthritis. We’ll conduct a thorough examination to assess your joint function, identify any contributing factors, and develop a personalized treatment plan that may include:

Gentle manipulations to improve joint alignment and function, reducing stress on affected areas. While adjustments aren’t directly on the damaged cartilage, they can improve biomechanics and reduce pain.

Techniques like massage and myofascial release to address muscle tension and imbalances surrounding the affected joint, which can help improve joint support and reduce pain.

Targeted exercises to strengthen supporting muscles, improve flexibility, and maintain range of motion. These are crucial for managing OA.

Recommendations on weight management, exercise, and activity modification to reduce stress on your joints.

Exploring the role of nutrition in managing inflammation and supporting joint health.

We can advise on the use of braces, canes, or other assistive devices to provide support and reduce pain.
