Joint Health is the Key to Your Mobility


It's no secret that the extremities of the body are key to a person’s mobility. The fact that such a large percentage of our locomotion is restricted to these joints results in a higher risk of injury and forms of discomfort. It is not uncommon for patients that visit our clinic unable to pinpoint the origin of their pain.

Joints are designed to glide and slide for a lifetime. However, most of us don't live a life that keeps our joints in alignment and free of stress. We're bombarded with chemicals, emotions, and physical stressors every day, which impacts the alignment of our joints and creates tension that is not only functionally unstable but also inflammatory with continued use.

This tension takes its toll on your body—especially on your joints, which absorb the biomechanical stress of tight or weak muscular imbalances that result from a life of stresses listed above.

How Joint Pain Develops


Most cases of leg and arm pain develop slowly, and so individuals affected are rather oblivious to what may have led to their pain. When the pain becomes too much to fight through, individuals turn to a variety of over-the-counter and prescription medications that they really don't need AND can actually exacerbate the problem.

When you're struggling with joint pain, it can feel like you have no options left—but there are plenty! We offer a full spectrum of options including chiropractic adjustments, biological and nutritional counseling along with specialized methods that help your body find it's natural balance.

Common Causes of Joint Pain

  • Alignment
  • Dietary stress or nutritional deficiencies
  • Inflammation
  • Side effects from medications
  • Trauma/injuries

Preventing Joint Pain


If you want to protect yourself from future joint pain, it's important to take care of them now. Your bones are literally the foundation of your body. Bone loss can tend to increase as we age, however that doesn't mean you can't take preventative measures to improve your overall bone and joint health.

Joints are the places where two or more bones meet, and they allow us to move our bodies in ways we never could without them. As we get older, our joints can become less flexible and more painful—along with the rest of our bodies.

How You Can Prevent Joint Decline and Improve Mobility

1. Stay Active!

Physical activity helps keep your joints strong and healthy. You don't have to run marathons or lift weights—just walking regularly will help keep those pesky aches away!

2. Take the Right Supplements

Supplements can help improve bone density, prevent bone loss, and increase your immune system. We have specialized methods that we use to identify the best supplements you can take.

3. Eat a Well-Balanced Diet

Eat plenty of fruits, vegetables and grains as well as lean proteins. We provide personalized nutritional counseling that will help you improve your diet and your joint health.

4. Get adjusted regularly.

It's important to keep your body and joints in alignment. The wisdom of the kinetic chain teaches us that we are connected through our muscles and bones. When one part is misaligned, it affects everything else.
