Whether you are managing osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or another inflammatory joint condition, we help you move better and feel better—one step at a time.

Understanding How Arthritis Occurs

Arthritis is not just one condition—it is a term covering over one hundred different joint-related diseases. The most common types seen in Adelaide include:

Osteoarthritis (OA): The most common type, caused by wear and tear on the joints over time.
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA): An autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks healthy joint tissues.
Psoriatic Arthritis: Linked with psoriasis, causing joint inflammation and skin symptoms.
Gout: Caused by a build-up of uric acid crystals in the joints, often affecting the big toe.

Arthritis develops due to a mix of factors including ageing, repetitive stress on joints, genetics, injury history, or immune dysfunction.

The result? Pain, inflammation, reduced mobility, and often chronic stiffness—especially in the mornings or after periods of inactivity.

Effective Treatment for Arthritis Pain

Managing arthritis is about more than masking pain. At Chiropractic On Winston, we aim to support your body’s structure and function to reduce pain, improve joint mobility, and support long-term wellness.

Chiropractic Care for Arthritis

Chiropractic care can help alleviate arthritis-related discomfort by:

Improving joint alignment to reduce strain
Enhancing mobility in affected joints
Reducing inflammation with non-invasive, gentle adjustments
Supporting better posture to relieve stress on joints

Our chiropractors take a gentle and tailored approach to arthritic joints, avoiding forceful manipulations and using mobilisation techniques suited to your individual condition

Remedial Massage for Arthritis Relief

Remedial massage plays a key role in reducing arthritis symptoms by:

Easing muscle tension around affected joints
Increasing blood flow to promote healing and reduce inflammation
Improving range of motion
Reducing pain levels during flare-ups

Our remedial massage therapists work carefully to apply pressure where it’s needed—helping your body manage the aches and pains of arthritis more effectively.

What to Do When Arthritis Pain Flares Up

When arthritis symptoms flare up, it can be frustrating and limiting. Here is what we recommend:

Stay gently active: Movement is medicine. Gentle walking or light stretching can keep joints mobile.
Apply heat or cold: Use a warm compress for stiffness or cold packs to reduce swelling.
Hydrate and rest: Support your body with water, anti-inflammatory foods, and adequate sleep.
Book a chiropractic or remedial massage session:
Our practitioners are trained to work with arthritis safely and effectively, providing firsthand support during flare-ups.

If you are experiencing sudden or severe pain, reach out to us for a tailored assessment and treatment plan.

How to Prevent or Reduce Arthritis Pain

While arthritis cannot always be avoided, there are many ways to reduce its onset and intensity:

Stay active: Regular, low-impact exercise like walking, swimming, or Pilates keeps joints lubricated and muscles strong.
Support joint health: Keep your weight within a healthy range to reduce pressure on knees, hips, and spine.
Eat anti-inflammatory foods: Omega-3s, turmeric, leafy greens, and berries can reduce inflammation.
Avoid repetitive strain: Break up long periods of repetitive tasks with rest or variation.
Prioritise posture: Good posture reduces unnecessary joint stress—something we focus on during chiropractic sessions.
Stay regular with treatment: Periodic chiropractic and massage appointments can keep your joints supported and symptoms in check.
