AWhat is Osteoarthritis?
Osteoarthritis is the wear and tear of your joints. It happens when the cartilage—the cushion between your bones—breaks down over time. This leaves bones rubbing against each other, causing pain, swelling, and stiffness. It’s common in athletes because of the repetitive motion and high-impact stress on their joints. But here’s the good news: it’s not something you have to live with forever. At FIX Medical Group of Scottsdale, AZ, we offer specialized treatments designed to get you back in the game.
What Are the Main Causes of Osteoarthritis?
For athletes, it’s all about the impact. Years of running, jumping, and even weightlifting can take a toll on your joints. Over time, this wear and tear lead to the breakdown of cartilage, leaving bones to grind against each other. But osteoarthritis isn’t limited to sports. Everyday actions like walking, bending, and even standing can wear out your joints. It’s a gradual process, but the pain can sneak up on you fast.
If you’re feeling stiffness or swelling in your knees, hips, or shoulders, it might be time to address the root cause. Osteoarthritis doesn’t have to be your reality.
What Symptoms Should You Look Out For?
The symptoms can be subtle at first. Maybe you wake up feeling stiff, but it goes away after a while. Or maybe your joints start to ache after a long run. Over time, though, the pain can become more persistent. You might notice swelling, a decrease in range of motion, or even a “grating” sensation when you move.
At FIX Medical Group of Scottsdale, AZ, we understand that every patient’s experience is unique. That’s why we take the time to assess your symptoms and tailor a treatment plan that works for you.
How Is Osteoarthritis Treated at FIX Medical Group of Scottsdale, AZ?
Our approach is simple: non-invasive, personalized care. We believe surgery should be a last resort. Instead, we focus on natural treatments that work with your body’s own healing process. Chiropractic care, physical therapy, and Advanced Restoration Treatments are just a few of the tools we use to manage osteoarthritis pain. For athletes, this means getting back on the field faster and stronger, without the risks of surgery.
We also use cutting-edge treatments like Accelerated Recovery Injections, which harness the power of your own body to repair damaged tissue. It’s a game-changer in osteoarthritis relief.
Can Chiropractic Care Really Help with Osteoarthritis?
Absolutely. Chiropractic care focuses on realigning your body to relieve pressure on your joints. This is especially important for athletes, who put their bodies through intense physical demands. By correcting spinal misalignments and improving joint function, chiropractic care can significantly reduce osteoarthritis pain. At FIX Medical Group of Scottsdale, AZ, we specialize in spinal decompression and active release techniques that target the exact source of your pain.
It’s not just about pain relief—it’s about long-term recovery. Our goal is to help you live pain-free without relying on medications or invasive procedures.
