What is Arthritis?
Arthritis is a condition that causes pain, stiffness, and inflammation in the joints. It can affect one or multiple joints and often worsens with time, making it harder to move comfortably through daily life. The most common forms include osteoarthritis—caused by wear and tear—and rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disease that attacks the lining of the joints.
While symptoms vary from person to person, many find themselves facing swelling, reduced mobility, and discomfort that slowly takes a toll on their daily life. We’re here to listen, understand, and create a path toward relief—together.
Common Causes of Arthritis
Arthritis can develop for many reasons, including age, activity level, and immune function. Understanding what’s behind your joint pain is the first step toward long‒term relief. Here are some of the most common contributing factors:
Years of repetitive movement or high-impact activity can gradually break down cartilage, the protective tissue that cushions your joints. This degeneration is the leading cause of osteoarthritis.
In some cases, the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy joint tissue. This inflammatory response, seen in conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and lupus, leads to joint damage and chronic pain.
Low-grade, persistent inflammation—often driven by poor diet, stress, or metabolic imbalance—can silently damage joints over time and worsen existing arthritis symptoms.
Fractures, dislocations, or ligament damage can increase the risk of arthritis later in life. Even after healing, joint function or stability may be compromised, accelerating cartilage breakdown.
Family history plays a role in many types of arthritis. Some people inherit a predisposition to joint conditions, especially autoimmune forms that affect multiple joints.
What Symptoms Does Arthritis Cause?
Arthritis symptoms can vary from mild to severe and may come and go or progress gradually over time. Recognizing these signs early can help prevent joint damage and improve long‒term outcomes.
Common symptoms include:
- Joint pain that worsens with movement or after periods of rest.
- Morning stiffness that persists after waking and gradually improves with movement.
- Swelling or tenderness around affected joints.
- Redness or warmth near inflamed areas.
- Limited range of motion or joint instability.
- Clicking, popping, or grinding sounds with movement.
- Fatigue, especially in autoimmune‒related arthritis.
- Muscle weakness near affected joints.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you relieve arthritis pain?
Effective pain management for arthritis starts with understanding the root cause. At our clinic, we combine chiropractic care, functional medicine, and regenerative therapies to reduce joint inflammation, improve mobility, and support healing. Each patient receives a customized plan designed to ease discomfort without relying on long-term medication.
How do you stop arthritis from getting worse?
Preventing arthritis progression requires early diagnosis and a proactive treatment strategy. We focus on treating the underlying inflammation, correcting biomechanical imbalances, and supporting tissue repair through natural, science-based therapies. Lifestyle changes, nutrition, and targeted supplements are also key to protecting joint health over time.
How to relieve arthritic pain at home?
While in-office treatments are essential, many patients can support their recovery at home with simple strategies like gentle movement, anti-inflammatory foods, heat or cold therapy, and stress reduction techniques. Our doctors often provide at-home recommendations as part of a comprehensive care plan for arthritis pain management.
What not to do with arthritis?
If you have arthritis, avoid ignoring joint pain, pushing through intense exercise without support, or relying solely on over-the-counter medications. Without proper guidance, these habits can worsen inflammation. New patients are often surprised to learn how small daily changes—paired with professional care—can make a lasting difference when treating this common condition.
