Arthritis is a chronic condition characterized by inflammation, pain, and often stiffness in the joints. Over time, arthritis may lead to joint swelling, decreased mobility, and reduced independence, causing challenges with walking, working, or enjoying recreational activities. Osteoarthritis, the most common form, typically affects weight-bearing joints such as knees, hips, and spine due to wear and tear. Symptoms are often worse with movement, after rest, or during cold weather, and can spread to the groin, thighs, or other areas depending on the joint involved.
At Advanced Medical of North Texas, arthritis care focuses on restoring optimal joint alignment, reducing inflammation, and improving overall joint function through a combination of chiropractic adjustments, physical therapy, and integrative medicine. By taking a whole-body approach, the practice aims not only to relieve pain but to enhance mobility and promote healthier, longer-lasting joints.
