Arthritis pain treatment
Supporting more comfortable movement for people living with arthritis.
Improving mobility and easing discomfort caused by arthritis
Arthritis and degenerative joint pain can make everyday movement more difficult — from getting out of a chair to walking, lifting or sleeping comfortably. Symptoms may be mild, persistent or gradually worsening over time.
At Axminster Chiropractic Clinic, we provide gentle, evidence-based care to help reduce pain, improve mobility and support long-term joint health.
Although arthritis can’t be reversed, the right treatment can make a real difference to comfort, movement and quality of life.
Understanding arthritis and joint degeneration
Arthritis develops when joints become worn, irritated or inflamed over time. The most common form, osteoarthritis, occurs as cartilage gradually breaks down, commonly affecting areas such as the spine, hips, knees, hands and shoulders. As joints change, everyday movement can become more difficult or uncomfortable.
Common symptoms of arthritis include:
- Joint stiffness, often worse in the morning or after rest
- Aching or persistent joint pain
- Reduced range of movement
- Swelling or tenderness around the joint
- Discomfort during everyday activities
How we help you manage arthritis
Arthritis can affect everyone differently, but it doesn’t have to define how you move or feel each day. With the right support, many people find they can stay more mobile, manage stiffness more effectively and continue doing the things that matter to them.
At Axminster Chiropractic Clinic, we focus on supporting your joints and improving movement using gentle, evidence-based care tailored to you.
