Degenerative Joint Disease Relief in Anchorage
Joint pain and stiffness from degenerative joint disease (DJD), also called osteoarthritis, can make it challenging to tackle everyday tasks and enjoy all those activities in life you love. You may also be tired of relying on pain medication to get relief. Those just mask symptoms but don’t get to the root cause of your discomfort. Now for some welcome news: Bilan Chiropractic offers natural solutions through chiropractic care and massage therapy to help you feel better and stay active.
Understanding DJD & Its Symptoms
When the protective cartilage in your joints breaks down over time, it can lead to pain and limit movement, particularly in the knees, hips, hands, and spine. Here are some of the most common signs that you have DJD:
- Persistent joint pain
- Stiffness, especially in the morning or after inactivity
- Swelling around the joints
- Limited range of motion
- A sensation of grating or cracking during movement
How Chiropractic Care Can Help
Chiropractic care focuses on restoring joint function and alleviating pain through non-invasive, drug-free treatments. Our approach includes the following:
Misaligned joints in the spine or other areas can worsen pain and stiffness. Gentle adjustments help realign the joints, reducing pressure and improving mobility.
Chiropractic adjustments improve joint health by reducing inflammation and improving biomechanics, which can slow the progression of DJD.
We don’t provide cookie-cutter care at our practice. Because every patient’s needs are unique, we will tailor care plans to address your specific symptoms and goals, ensuring you get the best possible results.
How Massage Therapy Helps Manage DJD
Another incredibly effective (and natural!) way to address DJD is with massage therapy. As a terrific complement to chiropractic care, this type of bodywork addresses soft tissue concerns and enhances overall well-being. Here are some benefits:
Pain Relief: Massage reduces muscle tension and increases blood flow, which helps alleviate pain associated with DJD.
Improved Flexibility:Regular massage sessions help maintain joint mobility, making it easier to perform daily activities and the things you love to do.
Stress Reduction:Chronic pain not only affects you physically, but it can take an emotional toll. Massage promotes relaxation and lowers stress levels, supporting mental health.
Enhanced Circulation: Improved blood flow to the affected joints can help reduce inflammation and promote healing.
