Unchain yourself from joint and muscle pain with Connective Chiropractic

Understanding joint and muscle pain

Joint and muscle pains can arise from a number of factors. These might include lifestyle issues as well as more serious pathology. In order for us to understand the true nature of your joint and muscle pain, we need to assess you. As a result, we spent time at our assessment and reassessment sessions going through any relevant orthopaedic, muscular, neurological or systemic testing to test what is going on and to advise further. If we can’t help, we will give you as much information as we can and refer you to someone who can. However, if we can help we will do our utmost to help you to get from it as speedily and as safely as we can. Our assessments can often seem time consuming but they help us to direct your care.

Stage 1 of care: Pain management

Our goal during the pain management part of most care plans is to relieve your aches and pains and getting you moving again. We’ll do this as quickly as we can but the number of sessions this can take depends largely on your circumstances. Appointments tend to be more frequent in acute stages of care. We suggest that you keep them to build momentum and avoid relapses. It is to be expected that appointments will spread out in number once pain starts to subside.

Our focus in this stage is often more on your physical and biomechanical structure. We will work with you to reduce joint or muscle pain, inflammation, muscle spasms or more common symptoms and side effects. We will work with you and give aftercare advice, where required, to increase joint flexibility and to rebuild confidence in your body’s performance.
