Osteoarthritis is a common condition that develops slowly over time. It happens due to natural wear and tear on your joints. The most affected areas are usually those that carry the most weight — like the spine, hips, knees, ankles, and even the hands.
While it can affect anyone at any age, osteoarthritis becomes more common as we get older. Both men and women can experience it.
You might hear it called arthritis, spondylitis, or rheumatism. Regardless of the name, the symptoms are often the same: stiffness, pain, and reduced mobility.

At Isis Chiropractic Centres, we understand that osteoarthritis affects everyone differently. That’s why we take the time to assess your condition thoroughly and design care that suits your needs.
Chiropractic care can help by:
Easing joint stiffness
Improving mobility
Supporting overall wellbeing
Our goal is to help you stay as active and comfortable as possible.
Joint wear and tear often starts silently, without symptoms. It’s a slow process that happens to everyone with age.
To protect damaged joints, your body may create extra bone. This helps stabilise the joint — for a while. You may feel no pain at first.
Over time, as cartilage wears down and joints become less mobile, pain may start to appear. At first, it might come and go. Eventually, it can become more persistent.
When osteoarthritis affects the spine, it can cause:
Stiffness
Pain
Nerve irritation
In some cases, this may lead to sciatica, numbness, or pins and needles in the legs. These symptoms are often linked to spinal stenosis.
We see these changes every day at our clinic. With gentle, effective care, we help improve how your spine and joints move so you can get back to doing the things you enjoy.
Chiropractic care doesn’t stop ageing — but it can help you feel better as you age.
Many people are prescribed anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for osteoarthritis pain. While they may help in the short term, they don’t stop the condition from progressing. They can also come with unwanted side effects.
That’s why more people are turning to chiropractic as a natural, long-term solution. While research continues, many of our patients say regular care helps them:
Feel better
Move more freely
Stay active
We may not be able to reverse joint degeneration, but chiropractic care can help restore better function to muscles and joints. This often leads to reduced pain and greater day-to-day comfort.
Chiropractic care works best when combined with other healthy choices, such as:
Eating a balanced, anti-inflammatory diet
Staying active with tailored exercise
Using rehab techniques to strengthen and support the spine
We also offer advanced therapies like TECAR and Low-Level Laser Treatment, which many patients find effective for easing osteoarthritic joint pain.
Throughout life, your spine works hard. Every step, lift, twist, and bend takes a toll. Over time, this leads to wear and tear.
The discs between your spinal bones are usually the first to change — often starting around age 40. By your 50s and 60s, the spinal joints and bones begin to change too. By age 70, almost everyone has some degree of degeneration.
As discs dry out and lose shock absorption, they become tougher and less flexible. This adds pressure to nearby joints and bones, causing stiffness and discomfort.
The good news? While we can’t undo the natural changes of ageing, we can help you manage them.
Chiropractic care improves spinal movement, reduces muscle tension, and helps you stay active. You may not turn back the clock, but you can still feel better and enjoy life to the fullest.
Nutrition plays a crucial role in supporting chiropractic care, as a balanced diet provides essential nutrients for optimal body function, enabling effective healing and disease prevention. Together, chiropractic care and proper nutrition promote overall health and well-being.
Chiropractic treatment for Shoulder Arthritis. It is much less common to have osteoarthritis of the gleno-humeral joint than in, for instance, weight bearing joints such as the hips and knees.
