For many people, joint pain is a damper on their life. Depending on where the pain lies, it can make walking, brushing your hair, opening a soda or jar of peanut butter, and many other normal tasks difficult or impossible. The good news is that this might not have to be the case. Below, our team at Godfrey Natural Chiropractic in Omaha, NE, provides information about how chiropractic care can help relieve joint pain and get you back to enjoying life.
What Causes Joint Pain?
Joint pain tends to be common as we age. This is because the joints begin to wear down over time. However, there are a few other common causes, such as:
- Falls and other injuries
- Tendonitis, which leads to inflammation in the tendons
- Bursitis, which can occur due to injury
- Fibromyalgia, which leads to pain and tenderness throughout the musculoskeletal system
- Arthritis, which can be caused by genetics, infection, or age
A chiropractic assessment can be performed to help determine the cause of your pain and the best techniques to use for your needs.
