seattle chiropractor for joint pain

Chiropractors work with the joints of the spine to reduce pain and restore motion. Why? Movement of joints is very important for the health of joints. Cartilage cells don't have a blood supply and rely on movement in order to imbibe or "sponge" nutrients like water, oxygen, and sugars into the cells. Movement also lubricates the joint by moving synovial fluids. When a joint doesn't move over time, it can develop connective tissue adhesions that make the joint "gummy" and not move properly. This is called a "fixation" that not only restricts movement but can cause pain. Call for an appointment with Dr. Jason Silliker at Sound Chiropractic Center. Dr. Silliker uses spinal manipulation to gently restore motion to these joints to reduce pain and disability. We look forward to helping you soon.
