Chronic Pain Chiropractor in Deerfield Beach

Chronic pain can be extremely debilitating, and can affect daily activities including work, exercise, recreation, sleep, and self-care. The symptoms can also interfere with quality of life by affecting relationships, energy, and patience. Whether it’s caused by degenerative conditions or autoimmune causes, chronic joint pain can significantly impact your quality of life. At Great Life Chiropractic in Deerfield Beach, Dr. Gus and Dr. Jacqueline both specialize in diagnosing and caring for chronic pain using effective, gentle chiropractic care.

These disorders are typically unrelated to your day-to-day routine and are unlikely to have an acute cause (like a slip and fall or sports injury.) They do, however, cause pain, mobility impairments, and can significantly impair your well being. Among the most common degenerative or autoimmune causes of joint pain are:

Bursitis. Bursitis causes inflammation of the bursae, small sacs of fluid that cushion and lubricate the joints. While bursitis can result from overuse, it is also commonly caused by aging, infection, or pressure on the bursa. Pressure on the bursa can result from poor ergonomics, poor posture, or misalignments in the spine and joints, for example. Chiropractic care can reduce inflammation from bursitis and help improve your range of motion.

Fibromyalgia. This is a chronic disorder that causes pain and tenderness throughout the body, as well as fatigue and trouble sleeping. Chiropractic care can help patients with fibromyalgia sleep more comfortably and improve their mobility and function. It can also relieving inflammation, and promote proper alignment to minimize pressure on muscles and nerves.

Gout. Caused by high levels of uric acid in the blood, gout can lead to severe pain, swelling, and stiffness in the joints. Chiropractic care can help relieve the swelling, inflammation, and pain of gout, as well as promote proper alignment of the joints to relieve pressure and reduce wear and tear.

Arthritis. Both types of this condition cause pain and inflammation and can affect any joint in the body.

• Osteoarthritis is a degenerative condition resulting from wear and tear on the joint. Chiropractic care at our Deerfield Beach office can reduce pressure on the joints, relieve pain, and improve function.
• Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disorder unrelated to joint use. Great Life chiropractic care can correct misalignments that may further exacerbate inflammation and help improve blood flow to relieve pain and stiffness.

For chronic joint pain, chiropractic care can provide effective pain relief and help restore joint function. Gentle chiropractic adjustments can do this by reducing inflammation in and around the injured area to relieve pain. Dr. Gus and Dr. Jacqueline both provide gentle adjustments that can also help improve the range of motion and increase strength in the muscles and tendons around the injured joint, aiding in recovery.

Misalignments can create imbalances in your joints that put added pressure on the nerves, muscles, and tendons. Adjustments correct those misalignments and imbalances to relieve pressure and pain and improve function. By restoring proper alignment, chiropractic adjustments relieve pressure on your nerves and muscles to relieve pain, and restore motion, function, flexibility, and balance. Benefits of gentle chiropractic adjustment for chronic pain at Dr. Gus and Dr. Jacqueline’s Deerfield Beach office include:

• Reduced inflammation and swelling
• Reduced pressure on nerves to relieve irritation and pain
