How a chiropractor can help with joint pain?

Joint pain is common after participating in sports and with those who have arthritis. 

How can a chiropractor help with joint pain?

Our doctor in San Carlos, CA and San Francisco, CA can with any joint that in the body!  If a joint is not moving correctly, eventually the area will lock up or become painful.  Promoting proper movement of the joints allows your body to heal and be pain free.  Once the area is safe to use, the brain will stop sending pain signals to the area.  

There are two supplements that can help with healing of joints as well.

1. Glucosamine

2. Chondroitin 

What does Glucosamine do?

It promotes  repair of cartilage and chondroitin promotes water retention and elasticity which inhibit enzymes that break down cartilage.  When you buy Glucosamine, chondroitin is usually included in the mix! 

What does Chondroitin do?

Repairs elasticity of the joint ligaments helping it heal and regain mobility.  

You can get both of these together and dosage is recommended as 1, 500 mg per day.  If you are really athletic, make sure you take extra vitamin C to help absorb it! 

Joint pain is not fun, and it can make doing the things you love even harder.  Contact us at our San Carlos, CA and San Francisco, CA office today to get started on your health and healing journey!
