Natural Relief for Arthritis Pain — Without Injections or Medications
At Restorative Care Chiropractic in Peachtree City, Dr Julie O'Shaughnessy helps people manage arthritis pain, improve joint mobility, and feel more like themselves — gently and naturally.
What Is Arthritis & How It Affects You
Arthritis is one of the most common causes of chronic pain, affecting joints in the spine, knees, hips, hands, feet, and more. Whether it's osteoarthritis from years of wear and tear or a condition like rheumatoid arthritis, the result is often the same — stiffness, swelling, and pain that limits how you move and live.
Chiropractic care can be a powerful, drug-free way to manage arthritis symptoms. By improving joint function and reducing nervous system stress, we help you feel better and move more freely. Our goal is simple: help you enjoy your day with less pain and more ease.
How Chiropractic Care Can Help with Arthritis
Arthritis doesn’t mean you’re stuck. Chiropractic care offers a gentle, effective way to restore movement and reduce pain without drugs or risky procedures. Here's how we help:
Gentle Adjustments – We use low-force techniques to restore joint movement without pain or pressure.
Joint Mobility Work – Keeping joints moving helps prevent stiffness and slow down degeneration.
Inflammation Reduction – Chiropractic adjustments support the nervous system and may help reduce inflammatory responses.
Soft Tissue Therapies – Techniques like Dolphin Neurostim and Shockwave can relieve tightness and discomfort around inflamed joints.
At-Home Strategies – We’ll teach you simple stretches, posture tips, and lifestyle changes to support your progress between visits.
Every care plan is personalized. Whether you’re active or have limited mobility, we tailor your care to fit your body and your goals.
