Is Chiropractic Care Safe for Osteoarthritis?
Chiropractic care offers safe, non-invasive, and drug-free treatment options for osteoarthritis.

Chiropractic care is particularly effective at treating back pain and neck pain, inflammation, and stiff joints due to osteoarthritis.
What to Expect When You Visit Us for Osteoarthritis Treatment

He will ask you about your symptoms, overall health, lifestyle, and current and past treatment methods. He will also ask about your family medical history. He may recommend blood tests or an MRI, CT scan, or x-rays. In many cases, he will provide your first treatment at your first appointment.
