Understanding Arthritis: Types and Symptoms
There are over 100 types of arthritis, but the most common forms include:
Osteoarthritis (OA)
- Caused by wear and tear on joint cartilage, OA often affects knees, hips, hands, and spine.
- Symptoms include joint stiffness, swelling, aching, and reduced range of motion, especially after activity.
- Over time, cartilage may thin, causing bones to rub against each other, increasing discomfort.
Gout
- Caused by uric acid crystal buildup in joints, commonly in the big toe, ankles, knees, or wrists.
- Symptoms appear as sudden, intense pain, redness, swelling, and warmth.
Can be triggered by dietary factors, genetics, and certain medications.
Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS)
- A chronic inflammatory arthritis primarily affecting the spine and sacroiliac joints.
- Leads to stiffness, reduced spinal flexibility, and postural changes.
Typically affects young adults, but may involve other joints and organs over time.
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)
- An autoimmune disorder where the body’s immune system attacks the joint lining.
- Leads to chronic inflammation, joint swelling, fatigue, and systemic symptoms.
RA can affect multiple joints simultaneously, often in the hands, wrists, and feet.
Psoriatic Arthritis
- Occurs in some patients with psoriasis, causing joint inflammation, stiffness, and pain, along with skin lesions.
Often affects fingers, toes, and spinal joints.
Symptoms Across Arthritis Types
While symptoms vary, common challenges include:
- Pain, stiffness, and swelling in affected joints
- Reduced range of motion and mobility
- Muscle weakness surrounding joints
- Fatigue from chronic inflammation
- Difficulty performing daily activities

Gonstead Chiropractic: Gentle, Precise, and Corrective
Our Gonstead chiropractic adjustments focus on spinal and joint alignment using a precise, patient-centered approach. By optimizing the function of the spine and nervous system, these adjustments can:
- Reduce joint stress and discomfort
- Support nerve signaling for improved body function
- Enhance mobility and range of motion
- Complement other therapies like decompression and rehab exercises
This method is gentle yet highly specific, making it ideal for arthritis patients seeking non-invasive care to support long-term joint health.
DRX9000 Spinal Decompression: Rehydrating Worn Discs
Degenerative disc changes often accompany arthritis, particularly in the spine. The DRX9000 spinal decompression system:
- Gently stretches the spine to relieve pressure on discs and nerves
- Increases disc height and joint space, alleviating pain and improving mobility
- Encourages nutrient and oxygen flow to damaged tissues
- Supports spinal flexibility and function, helping patients perform daily activities more comfortably
Unlike traditional traction, the DRX9000 is computer-assisted, providing controlled, precise decompression for maximum safety and comfort.
AccuKnee Therapy: Knee Joint Support
Knee arthritis can limit mobility and reduce quality of life. The AccuKnee system:
- Gently decompresses the knee joint to reduce pressure on cartilage
- Improves joint fluid circulation
- Enhances mobility and flexibility
- Reduces stiffness and discomfort
This therapy is ideal for osteoarthritis, cartilage wear, and chronic knee pain, providing a non-surgical, supportive solution for joint health.
Anti-Inflammatory Vitamin IV Therapy: Direct Nutrient Support
Our clinically-formulated IV therapy delivers essential nutrients directly into the bloodstream, offering better absorption and faster effects than oral supplements. Key ingredients include:
- Vitamin C: Supports collagen and connective tissue repair
- B-Complex: Promotes nerve health and energy metabolism
- Magnesium: Helps relax muscles and reduce joint tension
- Zinc, Copper, Manganese: Aid tissue repair and joint maintenance
- Glutathione: Powerful antioxidant that helps manage inflammation
- Alpha Lipoic Acid: Supports nerve and joint health
Patients often notice:
- Reduced joint discomfort
- Improved mobility and flexibility
Enhanced recovery after exercise or therapy sessions.
Red Light Therapy & Therapeutic Exercises
Red Light Therapy
- Reduces inflammation and promotes tissue healing
- Improves circulation in affected joints
- Supports overall joint health
Guided Rehabilitation Exercises
- Strengthen muscles supporting arthritic joints
- Improve posture and joint stability
- Increase flexibility and range of motion
- Support long-term joint comfort
This combination enhances the benefits of chiropractic adjustments, decompression therapy, and IV support for optimal outcomes.
Lifestyle Support for Arthritis Management
Alongside clinic therapies, lifestyle modifications can help reduce joint stress and improve long-term outcomes:
- Maintain a healthy weight to reduce pressure on joints
- Engage in low-impact exercises like swimming, cycling, or Pilates
- Eat an anti-inflammatory diet rich in omega-3s, antioxidants, and whole foods
- Prioritize sleep and stress management to reduce inflammation
- Avoid smoking, which can worsen arthritis symptoms and inflammation
Our team provides personalized guidance based on lab analysis and nutritional coaching, helping you take active steps toward joint health.
