What is Happening

Chiropractic care and arthritis — what you need to know

Arthritis is a broad term covering over 100 different joint conditions — but the most common types seen in chiropractic practice are osteoarthritis and inflammatory arthritis. Chiropractic care is not a cure for arthritis, and Dr. Crystal will be clear about that from your first visit.

What chiropractic care can offer arthritis patients at Dr. Crystal's Chiropractic Care in Le Claire, Iowa is support for joint mobility, reduction of compensatory muscle tension, and attention to the surrounding structures that influence how much a person is affected by their arthritis day to day.

Gentle, low-force techniques — including Thompson Drop Table adjustments — are available for patients who require a less forceful approach. Treatment is always adapted to your specific joint condition and comfort level.
