DOULEUR POIGNET 3EME AGEArthritis pain can be debilitating, yet you may still want to avoid taking pain pills because of their possible side effects. You may also be among the 20% to 40% of arthritis patients who receive no relief from pharmaceuticals. Fortunately, you have several other ways to relieve arthritis pain other than taking medication, many of which are available at Spine Correction Center in Fort Collins.

Stem Cell Therapy

Thanks to recent strides in healthcare and science, stem cell therapy is more effective than ever at treating arthritis. The procedure is simple and non-surgical, involving nothing more than a single in-office injection at the affected site. This introduces amniotic stem cells into your body, which play a key role in the natural healing process.

Stem cells treat arthritis by morphing into the same type of cells as the damaged tissues, including ligaments, tendons, and bones. They help your body heal itself faster to ease your pain and help restore mobility, so you can return to the activities you love.

Spine Correction Center is proud to offer state-of-the-art stem cell therapy right here in our Fort Collins office. Call us today at (970) 658-5115 to learn more or schedule a consultation.

Trigger Point & Joint Injections

Your body can develop trigger points, or areas of knotted muscles, as a result of arthritis. This decreases blood flow and may worsen your arthritis symptoms. Fortunately, trigger point injections at Spine Correction Center can promote healing to dysfunctional muscles and help relieve your pain. We also offer joint injections for the knee and shoulder with the purpose of lubricating and decreasing pain in these large joints.

Chiropractic Care

While chiropractic adjustments are most often used to treat spinal problems, they can also help relieve arthritis pain. Realigning your joints and reducing muscle tension are natural methods for helping stiff arthritic joints feel more mobile. Visit our Fort Collins office to discuss whether chiropractic care could be an appropriate treatment for your arthritis.

Physical Therapy & Exercise

The purpose of physical therapy is to help you improve your posture, muscle strength, and range of motion, and reduce pain caused by chronic ailments and acute injuries. When paired with gentle exercises that are easy on your joints, you can expect relief from all kinds of arthritis.

Electrical Stimulation

While most commonly used for nerve injuries, electrical stimulation can also help relieve low back pain caused by osteoarthritis. The treatment involves placing electrodes on your skin that send an electrical current to the painful, arthritic areas of your body. This stimulates the brain to release endorphins and enkephalins, which naturally relieve your pain.

Acupuncture

This ancient therapy technique involves placing tiny needles in your skin to release trapped energy. Acupuncture is appropriate for healing nearly any type of pain naturally, including arthritis. If needles don’t appeal to you, try acupressure, which utilizes many of the same techniques as acupuncture, but with the pressure applied using fingers, knuckles, and palms.

Heat Therapy

You can relieve arthritis pain at home with heat therapy. Apply a hot pack or heating pad two to three times per day for 15 minutes, or take a warm bath before bed to soothe your aching joints. The heat increases blood flow to the painful areas and relaxes your muscles to reduce pain.
