“Amazing Life Chiropractic and Wellness in Mill Creek specializes in gentle, effective chiropractic care for rheumatology patients.”

Chiropractic Care for Rheumatology Patients — A Missing Puzzle Piece?

Rheumatic disease is often debilitating and wreaks havoc on patients’ activities and their lives. As a Rheumatologist, your patients present to you with stiff, swollen, and painful joints and muscles that limit their movement and can lead to a host of related concerns from inactivity and being sedentary.

With over 54 million Americans suffering from some form of arthritis, from osteoarthritis to rheumatoid arthritis, Lupus, or Scleroderma, the problem is only going to grow in size as our population continues to live longer and problems from joint pain and cartilage damage expands. While low by national standards, about 23% of the population in and around Mill Creek, Washington, suffer from some form of arthritis.

How Chiropractic Care Can Be Valuable to Your Care Team

Chiropractic practitioners specialize in all types of joint pain and discomfort.  Their skilled manipulation has been found to be beneficial in treating lower back and neck pain along with other joints, such as the hip and knee.

As a non-invasive alternative, chiropractic care is shown to ease pain and, coupled with stretching and a healthy, inflammation-reducing diet, can improve mobility in rheumatology patients.

Consider these ways a chiropractor will contribute to and expand your treatment team:

  • Chiropractic care can relieve inflammation and the associated pain, which is a main factor in arthritis. This non-invasive treatment can reduce the need for medications in many patients.
  • Chiropractic care is a beneficial and non-invasive way to treat rheumatoid and osteoarthritis by using among other things, gentle manipulations, infrared sauna, and full-body vibration plate machine.
  • Although chiropractic care cannot reverse arthritis, it has been shown to improve spinal posture which relieves pain from arthritis and may slow the advance of the disease.

A Holistic Focus

At Amazing Life Chiropractic & Wellness, we take a holistic treatment approach. By working with our referring providers to understand the scope of treatment being sought, we can then actively listen to the patient about the how their pain is progressing and develop a plan together as part of a cohesive team.

One of our core beliefs at Amazing Life is that the best care comes from treating the whole patient which means understanding their specific objectives, as well as their overall lifestyle and health goals. Once we can envision the patient’s whole situation, it becomes much easier to find treatment options that help the patient and that the patient will absorb as part of their own habitual program offering lifetime benefits.
