Osteoarthritis is a type of arthritis that responds well to chiropractic care. When the joints are in proper alignment, they perform better, and last longer. It is kind of like keeping the front end aligned on your car. The tires last longer and gas mileage improves.
Exercise and gentle stretching can help alleviate symptoms. Inactivity can actually increase the severity of osteoarthritis. Decrease the amount of saturated fats, (which are loaded in red meat). Increase your intake of mono and polyunsaturated fats.
Food supplements such as glucosamine, MSM, and chondroitin sulfate may also be of benefit. These supplements take about 3-6 months to be of benefit.
Check with your chiropractor for more specific instructions.
