Quick Arthritis Quiz

Take our 2 minute arthritis quiz to find out what kind of arthritis you might have, and what can be done for relief.

 You are not alone! Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis, affecting nearly five million Canadians (one in six). Those numbers are increasing: an estimated one in four Canadians will have OA by 2035. Symptoms include morning stiffness, pain that decreases with movement, swelling, and clicking or cracking within the joint itself.

Facts About Osteoarthritis (OA)

OA is more common in older adults. Factors that can contribute to or accelerate the process of osteoarthritis is being overweight, previous injuries, and significant overuse. For many, the assumption is that it is impossible to prevent arthritis of this kind. They feel that arthritis pain and its symptoms are just a normal part of ageing and that it goes hand in hand with typical expected “wear and tear” on the body.

The term arthritis is actually “arthro” meaning joint, “itis” meaning inflammation, so joint inflammation. OA shouldn’t be confused with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) which is an auto-immune disease and affects a much smaller percentage of the population. Osteoarthritis is characterized by the “wear and tear” of the cartilage in a joint. This can occur in the joints of the extremities or the spine because the joints are not aligned or biomechanically efficient.

What Can You Do Right Now?

In order to manage arthritis pain symptoms, regular exercise and optimal nutrition are key to properly “feed” your joints with the right nutrients and create proper lubrication of the joints. Proper movement of all joints is key to not only pain relief but also from a proprioceptive point of view as joints that are restricted in motion are not sending the proper feedback to the brain and can affect how we perceive our own body position in our environment; this can lead to even more abnormal position, misalignment, pain and—you guessed it—worsened osteoarthritis.

One answer is to be proactive about taking care of your joints at a younger age so you don’t have to do arthritis pain treatment later. Taking precautions in your 20s, 30s, and 40s will help to reduce the impact and prevent arthritis from lowering the quality of life in your 50s, 60s, and 70s. Even people who experience daily pain and limited motion today can benefit greatly from chiropractic care; it is never too late!

Have you been told before that it’s simply your age?

Or, it’s arthritis and there is nothing that can be done?

Perhaps that you should just learn to live with it?

It doesn’t have to be that way. There are a number of things that you can do to prevent, treat or get relief from OA. Prevalence doesn’t mean normal, so what if I told you you can get help to redefine your own normal?

Imagine being pain-free for a moment and what it would change in your life. Whether it is for the joints of the spine or the joints of the extremities, chiropractic care can help you stay in better alignment. Therefore, reducing your chances of abnormal wear and tear. It could be that simple. Regular adjustments can help provide more mobility and reduce potential stresses that can cause further discomfort and pain.

I've tried other chiropractors in the past but Dr. Nathalie is the only one who really makes a difference to my health. I was just there this afternoon and I'm feeling better already.

Having known Natalie for over 20 years I can tell you she is hands down the best Chiro in the region. She’s also extremely knowledgeable when it comes nutrition also and fitness in general. She helped me out a lot when I fractured a vertebrae in my back due to a motorcycle accident. I highly recommend her to anyone trying to get some relief of pain with everyday living conditions that make it some days unbearable. She always takes the time to truly listen to your worries.

Dr. Nathalie pays very close attention to every aspect of health and wellness and wisely approaches treatment and prevention from a holistic perspective. I was amazed that I started seeing improvements in my sleep, energy and pain levels immediately following my first treatment with Dr. Nathalie! I have not felt this good in two years and I am certain that with continued treatment, I can get off the medications that have been causing me numerous undesirable side effects. As a nurse of 26 years I highly recommend Dr. Nathalie's wonderful book, "Hack Your Health Habits" for everyone! You will not be disappointed with her wealth of current (and referenced) information that makes sense of everything, from supplements and hormones, to detoxing, immunity and cognitive function, to list just a few of the subjects she touches on! Thank you Dr. Nathalie for improving my quality of life and giving me hope, when my other doctors and pain specialist have told me they cannot do anything more to help me! Your care is life-changing for me!! Your staff are pretty awesome too 🙂
