There are many different types of arthritis. The word arthritis can be split into 2 root words: ‘arth’, meaning joint, and ‘itis’, meaning inflammation. So therefore, arthritis would mean inflammation of a joint.
We have many joints in the body, from the hip and shoulder, to the toes, fingers and vertebrae. Inflammation of a joint can be caused by many factors, but one cause is the alignment of the body and joints.
Like a car that is out of alignment, where the joints of the vehicle and things like the tires wear out unevenly or abnormally, so too can the joints of the body wear out, degenerate and become arthritic. For example, if the pelvis is out of alignment, this can affect the alignment of the hips and knees, causing accelerated rates of degeneration.
Chiropractors are trained to study the biomechanics of the spine, and thoroughly investigate the posture and spinal alignment. Especially affected are the discs between the vertebrae of the spine. These spinal discs do in fact wear out faster when the bones of the spine are out of alignment due to abnormal weight bearing.
Here at Elevation Health, we use advanced postural and digital x-ray analysis to first be certain of the cause of your problem, and then use state of the art adjusting and a spinal remodeling program to correct those causes without drugs or invasive surgery.

Anyone can benefit from the healing attributes of chiropractic care in order to provide relief from any form of discomfort that one undergoes when they have a misaligned spine, back, or neck.
