Research Notes on Chiropractic Treatments for Arthritis


Chiropractic treatments for arthritis can relieve inflammation and help ease pain.1 Arthritis is an inflammation of any joint, from the small joints in the fingers and toes to the larger shoulder and leg joints. Depending on the style of the chiropractor, the therapy may either focus on the spine for overall relaxation, or may combine spine treatment with pressure applied to other areas of the body.

Fast Facts:

  • While medicine treats the overall pain caused by arthritis, chiropractic treatments address the problem at the joint itself.2
  • Research has shown that chiropractic treatments can effectively relieve pain in people with osteoarthritis.2
  • If you have rheumatoid arthritis that also affects your spine, you should not use chiropractic treatment.1
  • Chiropractic treatment for people with rheumatoid arthritis complications in the spine may further destabilize the spine.1
