Arthritis: Types, Causes, and Symptoms

As a trusted chiropractor near you, our team in Highlands Ranch, CO, handles the most common types of arthritis that we see:

- Osteoarthritis: the wearing down of cushioning joint cartilage, leading to painful "bone on bone" rubbing and bony cysts. People with osteoarthritis often complain of stiff, achy, and sore joints that creak or pop.

  - Rheumatoid arthritis: joint pain, inflammation, and stiffness caused by tissue damage because of the person's immune system.

  - Gout: pain, stiffness, and swelling in a joint caused by a buildup of uric acid crystals, a metabolic byproduct in the body.

While getting older is the leading risk factor for these arthritis conditions, young children are affected by certain types of arthritis. Other risk factors for arthritis include a history of joint injury, repetitive strain (frequent pounding, lifting, or bending), obesity, poor posture, and smoking. For some, family history or genes often play a significant role.

How a Chiropractor Helps with Arthritis and Joint Pain

Knowing the likely risk factors when you have arthritis helps you address the ones you can do something about, like your weight or posture. Fortunately, this is an issue that chiropractor Dr. Rob Anderson is an expert on. And your treatment starts from day one in the office! He works at taking the time to get to know your lifestyle, activities, and goals and incorporates simple solutions like posture education and nutritional counseling.

Chiropractic care is also helpful for people with arthritis by:

- Providing natural joint pain relief

- Enhancing joint health

- Optimizing joint mobility and alignment

- Increasing strength of the muscles supporting affected joints

- Reducing joint pain, allowing you to tolerate aerobic exercise
