What Causes Arthritis?
Arthritis is caused by the bodies autoimmune system attacking itself. Usually it can be a genetic health concern although it can occur from other problems such as gout. The most common type of arthritis is osteoarthritis which causes bone degeneration and is more common in females. Usually stressors from work and prolonged activities can have an effect on joint inflammation although the driving force of arthritis always comes down to the overuse of joints.

In Short, Yes! Chiropractic Care is a great way to help manage flareups especially with the surrounding musculature of the painful joint.
