JOINT PAIN
Joint pain can be debilitating. But it doesn’t have to be. We have a range of techniques that can help, whatever your age.
Defeat Joint Pain, All Over
As one of the most common medical problems, there are many potential causes of joint pain. These include:
- Trauma, including sports injuries
- Arthritis
- Inflammation
- Strain or sprain
- Altered biomechanics
Pain can be felt in one joint or several, and can also be experienced alongside redness, swelling, and loss of mobility. Painkillers can be used at home to provide some relief, but if you really want to identify the cause and prevent it from happening again, you may need some professional support.
Treatment for Joint Pain
From a sore ankle or elbow to knee pain and achy hips, joint pain can be experienced all over and for lots of different reasons. This makes it crucially important that you know what you’re treating before doing anything.
As well as regular gentle exercise, there is a lot of evidence that shows adjustments and manual therapy can be an effective treatment for joint pain. This is because it focuses on certain areas of the body to relieve stress, restore movement, and reduce stiffness.
What to Expect
Your first assessment will begin with a full examination, as well as a discussion about your medical history and lifestyle choices. We may need to perform some further orthopedic tests to help get to the root cause of the issue.
Once done, and we’ve identified where the problem lies, we can advise on a personalized care plan. This will be a combination of in-clinic and at-home treatments, and many of our patients experience relief quickly.
We’ve helped people of all ages get their lives back on track – many of whom can’t remember a time when they weren’t suffering from joint pain. So, if you’ve had enough and want to speak to Dr. Preet, an Osteopath and Chiropractor in Victoria, get in touch today.
