Arthritis is a term used to describe a group of chronic diseases that involve inflammation and damage to the joints in the body. It encompasses various conditions, including arthritis types like rheumatoid arthritis, gout, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and osteoarthritis. In some forms of arthritis like osteoarthritis, there is a breakdown of cartilage in the joints without an active inflammation process, so the proper term would be arthrosis. These conditions can lead to pain, swelling, and reduced joint function.

The most commonly reported symptoms of arthritis include joint pain, swelling, stiffness, and reduced range of motion. Individuals may experience tenderness and warmth in the affected joints, making certain movements challenging or uncomfortable. As arthritis progresses, it can lead to joint deformities and affect daily activities, impacting the quality of life.
At Functional Restoration Institute, our approach to arthritis focuses on comprehensive and personalized care to alleviate symptoms and optimize joint health. Through motion palpation, we meticulously identify joint dysfunctions and imbalances, tailoring our treatment plan to each individual’s needs. We utilize chiropractic joint mobilizations and manipulations to restore joint function and optimize movement, aiming to reduce pain and improve joint flexibility. Our emphasis on neuromuscular rehabilitation helps reduce excessive wear and tear on the joints by retraining the brain for biomechanically efficient movement. Additionally, we incorporate clinical grade nutraceuticals to address inflammation and support joint health. Our integrated approach aims to provide effective and lasting relief, allowing patients to regain control over their daily activities and enjoy improved joint function.
