What is Arthritis?
Generally, people experiencing any type of arthritis experience several different symptoms including:
Localized pain in the affected joints
Stiffness and reduced range of motion
Swelling and redness
There are two primary types of arthritis:
Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis is a type of arthritis that is caused by wear and tear on your joints. Over time, the cartilage that cushions your joints can break down, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion. Osteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis, affecting millions of people in the United States.
This is very common and generally becomes worse over time and as you age. It can start out mild and develop into more pain and discomfort over time without properly treating or managing the symptoms.
Chiropractic care can significantly help reduce the pain, swelling, and stiffness of your joints that are suffering from Osteoarthritis.
Rheumatoid arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis is a type of arthritis that happens when your immune system attacks the tissues around your joints. This can cause pain, stiffness, and problems moving your joints.
This is known as an autoimmune condition, and can not be treated with traditional chiropractic care. This usually requires medication from a medical doctor in order to manage.
How Chiropractors Treat Arthritis
Although there is no actual cure for arthritis, Chiropractic care has been proven to be extremely effective in helping mitigate and manage the symptoms. By performing Chiropractic adjustments, treatments help keep joints in line while relieving pressure off the nervous system. This helps reduce the typical pain, stiffness, and swelling caused by arthritis.
Typically, Chiropractic treatment for arthritis will result in:
Reduced pain and discomfort
Decreased inflammation
Improved range of motion
Improved flexibility
Chiropractic treatment for arthritis is one of the safest options available. It’s a non-invasive, non-addictive, all-natural option to reduce your pain and discomfort. That means you can get relief from your arthritis without surgeries or medications.
Chiropractic care can be a key component in minimizing and managing symptoms caused by arthritis and is highly recommended as part of your overall health plan.

“I have endured an 18 year headache due to a car accident. I’ve visited multiple Chiropractors over the years with no change to my issue. I’m now seeing there is light at the end of this dark tunnel. The care that I am receiving is unmatched. I no longer have a constant headache. I recommend coming here for Chiropractic care if you desire to get better.”

“I found Dr. Schumann at the Taste of Charlotte a few weeks back, and it has completely turned everything around for the better. I have had chronic pain in my low back, hip, leg, and groin since November of 2025 (~7 months unresolved). I went to orthopedic doctors, physiologists, physical therapists and more in that time frame — no one was able to give me a concrete or definite source of my pain — if anything, I was thrown around a million different diagnoses and treatments. I’m a healthy, active 26 y/o and had no prior injury. Very quickly (when I say fast, I mean with scans evaluated during our FIRST consult) Dr. Schumann was able to identify that I’ve had a pinched nerve at my S1. I’ve been following his plan for the last two weeks and have already felt relief that I completely forgot exists. I can proudly say that I am no longer in chronic pain, while I experience minimal flares as we work to fully resolve the issue. I plan to continue treatment until my spine is realigned. Whether you’re in need of immediate relief, long term relief, or someone that will affirm you are not crazy and there is a source to your pain — Chiropractic Fitness is the place to go (and Dr. Schulman’s team is absolutely phenomenal and so helpful).”
