Maintaining good joint health is essential to living an active, no-pain life.

Who has joint pain? Who doesn’t have joint pain?!
So many of us suffer miserably from some form of joint pain. Joints bring two bones together in many different forms and the way the bones move or articulate with one another determines the type of joint. Most joints have cushions and flexible surfaces, called bursa and cartilage.
So, let’s discuss some of the remedies to slow or stop this progression and heal the painful area as much as possible.
We can do most of this through natural methods, without drugs or surgeries. Yes, some conditions and injuries do require surgical or other invasive procedures, but not all of them. Any “Itis” condition has some type of inflammatory component, which means an abundance of painful inflammatory cells have built up and are causing – you guessed it – pain!
There are many different specialties of natural care to deal with the issue of pain relief and healing. Chiropractic care generally improves joint restrictions and increases blood flow. As chiropractic physicians, we also have different modalities to enhance these improvements, including Stem Cell Activation, which helps to stimulate the body’s natural dormant stem cells for tissue regeneration and improved circulation.
Medical Acupuncture is another therapy that alleviates pain, stimulates endorphins and improves circulation. Massage therapy and soft tissue techniques release muscle tension and improve circulation.
Physical Therapy improves muscular strength and balance and improves circulation. Exercise gets the joints moving, the muscles stronger and the heart pumping, improving circulation!
See the common factor here? Improving Blood Circulation! This is of utmost importance for reducing inflammation and, ultimately, pain.
Getting on a good lifestyle plan that includes many of the above practices will put you on a path to feeling great and living Alive! Hope you can jump on the No-Pain Train soon!
