Although arthritis seems commonplace, this crippling and chronic condition can be prevented or, at the very least, its progression slowed down. All too often people assume arthritis occurs as they age or that it was inherited from their parents. This is not the case. Arthritis is simply excess wear and tear in the joints. When joint function is impaired, there is reduced range of motion, inflammation, calcium buildup, and scar tissue. The constant downward pull of gravity affecting us each and every day is the biggest contributing factor in the development of arthritis. When joint stress and damage go unabated and uncorrected, the arthritic process marches forward. 

Arthritis is a preventable condition. Do not let an "expert" tell you to "live with it". It occurs when untreated injuries and uncorrected joint misalignments cause degeneration in the joints and discs. Osteoarthritis, degenerative arthritis, degenerative disc disease, and degenerative joint disease all describe the same process: wear and tear of joints in the body. This is precisely why we emphasize prevention. Chiropractic care can restore proper function to these joints so they work with as little friction or stress as possible. This slows down the arthritic process to maintain your flexibility so you can get more out of life.

It might seem a simple solution to take aspirin and drugs to cover up symptoms, but the actual cause of the arthritis is not being addressed.

Many people find relief with chiropractic care. If a thorough examination  reveals reduced range of motion, short ligaments, tight muscles or mechanical restrictions, chiropractic care may make a difference. Chiropractic care restores normal motion to the joints. This can improve function and reduce painful symptoms. Much of Dr. Kjaer’s practice is treating arthritis whether it be in the spine or the extremities. In fact, a common reason people are referred to this office is for arthritis.

Dr. Kjaer utilizes treatments to correct this and other musculo-skeletal problems. Ultimately, this can ensure that you get more out of your life: family time, hobbies and physical activities!
