What is osteoarthritis?
Osteoarthritis is a painful condition that affects the joints. It is a chronic disorder of the musculoskeletal system in which the joint cartilage deteriorates and, over time, can even disappear completely, while extra bone may form at the joint edges. Pain, stiffness and loss of function are characteristic of this condition.

Osteoarthritis shows up in places such as the spine and the hip, but other joints elsewhere in the body can also be affected. The condition is most common in older people, but can develop at any age. Osteoarthritis cannot be cured, but there are treatments that can ease the pain and counter stiffness and loss of function.
Within our practice we treat osteoarthritis with, among other things, spinal decompression. Not sure whether chiropractic is right for you? Read what to expect at your first visit or explore all of our treatments.
