Arthritis Care in Reading
Arthritis can make simple things like getting out of bed, climbing stairs, or turning your head feel stiff, sore, and exhausting. Many people are told to just “live with it” or rely on long-term medication, but you may be looking for a safer, more active way to support your joints.
Understanding Arthritis and Your Spine
Arthritis often develops from joint wear-and-tear, past injuries, ongoing inflammation, and years of postural stress. When the spine is misaligned and not moving well, it can place extra load on the hips, knees, shoulders, and smaller spinal joints, speeding up arthritic changes. That extra stress can lead to stiffness, aching, swelling, and reduced flexibility that limit your day. During your initial assessment, we take a detailed history, check posture and spinal motion, and, when appropriate, use digital X‑rays to understand exactly what is happening in your joints. From there, we design a plan that respects your diagnosis and works alongside any medical care you are already receiving.
Research-Based Chiropractic Support for Arthritis
Chiropractic BioPhysics® (CBP) is a research-based chiropractic protocol that helps correct spinal alignment and reduce joint stress. By restoring more normal curves and posture, CBP can decrease mechanical strain on arthritic joints and support better nervous system function. A mobility-based exercise program is a series of guided movements that helps lubricate joints and improve flexibility. These customized exercises, combined with gentle spinal adjustments and traction-style stretching, are introduced at a pace your body can handle. Many patients begin noticing better movement and less stiffness within a few weeks, although arthritis usually benefits from ongoing supportive care.
