Joint pain and stiffness can affect walking, work and everyday activities. At Longlevens Chiro in Gloucester, we assess your symptoms, discuss what matters to you and explain whether chiropractic care is appropriate. An assessment can also identify when advice from your GP or another clinician is needed.
Understanding osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis involves changes within a joint. It is more complex than simply “wear and tear”, and symptoms do not necessarily worsen steadily. Treatment cannot reverse osteoarthritis, but there are ways to manage symptoms and maintain activity.
Activity and exercise
A plan built around activity
Appropriate exercise is a core part of osteoarthritis management. Your plan should suit your abilities and the activities you want to continue. For hip or knee osteoarthritis, manual therapy may be considered alongside exercise; it should not be presented as a treatment on its own.
Choosing suitable care
What your assessment involves
Your chiropractor will ask about your symptoms, medical history and daily activities, then assess movement and function. We will explain our findings, discuss realistic goals and give you time to ask questions before deciding on any care.
