A manual therapy that involves manipulation of the spine and other regions, chiropractic care often addresses joint issues such as osteoarthritis. A basic chiropractic adjustment approach centers on velocity low-amplitude spinal manipulation therapy (HVLA SMT). This involves the chiropractor pushing out a single joint, typically in the spine, past its normal range of motion. This is accomplished through a single (or a series of) rapid, forceful thrusts. Complementary techniques of addressing joint and soft tissue stiffness include heat and cold therapy, stretching, and massage.
Devices may also be utilized for joint issues, including transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS). This involves the application of mild electrical pulses that stimulate and relax the nerves and muscles. The sound waves delivered by ultrasound can also relieve joint swelling and associated pain, while low-level lasers (that produce no heat) are effective against swelling.
In cases where the joint issue centers on a specific region, such as after injury or improper use, the chiropractor also works with the healing patient to ensure that a safe range of motion is employed moving forward.
