Hello, I'm Dr. Rory Dopps from Dopps Chiropractic in Overland Park, Kansas. Arthritis is a common condition that affects millions of people worldwide, causing pain, inflammation, and stiffness in the joints. Many people with arthritis wonder if chiropractic care can provide relief from their symptoms and improve their quality of life. In this blog, we'll explore how chiropractic care can benefit individuals with arthritis and help them better manage their condition.



  1. Pain relief: Chiropractic adjustments can help alleviate pain and discomfort associated with arthritis by improving joint mobility and function. This can lead to a reduction in inflammation and swelling, providing relief from arthritis-related pain.

  2. Improved joint mobility: Chiropractic care can help restore normal joint function and mobility by addressing joint restrictions and misalignments. This can lead to greater ease of movement, allowing individuals with arthritis to maintain their independence and participate in daily activities with less pain and discomfort.

  3. Reduced inflammation: Chiropractic adjustments can help improve circulation and support the body's natural healing processes, reducing inflammation in the joints and surrounding tissues. This can help decrease arthritis-related pain and stiffness.

  4. Enhanced muscle balance and function: Chiropractic care can help address muscle imbalances and dysfunction that may contribute to joint stress and pain in individuals with arthritis. Strengthening and stretching exercises recommended by your chiropractor can help improve muscle balance and support joint health.

  5. Holistic approach to care: Chiropractic care takes a holistic approach to health, addressing the root causes of pain and dysfunction rather than just treating the symptoms. This can help individuals with arthritis achieve better overall health and well-being, potentially reducing the impact of their condition on their daily lives.

  6. Complementary to other treatments: Chiropractic care can be used alongside other arthritis treatments, such as medications, physical therapy, or exercise, to provide a more comprehensive approach to pain relief and joint health.


In conclusion, chiropractic care can provide numerous benefits for individuals with arthritis, including pain relief, improved joint mobility, reduced inflammation, and enhanced overall well-being. If you're living with arthritis and seeking an alternative or complementary treatment option, consider scheduling an appointment with a chiropractor like myself.
