Arthritis is a broad term referring to inflammation and degeneration of one or more joints, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. The most common type, osteoarthritis, occurs when protective cartilage within the joints wears down over time. Inflammatory types, such as rheumatoid arthritis, involve the immune system attacking joint tissues. Arthritis can affect any joint but is most commonly found in the knees, hips, hands, spine, and shoulders. As the condition progresses, it can cause chronic pain, swelling, reduced range of motion, and loss of function. Early intervention is critical to managing symptoms and preserving joint health.

Our center focuses on non-surgical, patient-centered solutions to manage arthritis symptoms and improve joint function. After a thorough evaluation, we design a customized plan that may include chiropractic adjustments, physical rehabilitation, regenerative therapies (such as PRP), and lifestyle modifications aimed at reducing joint stress. Our goal is to decrease inflammation, improve mobility, strengthen surrounding muscles, and slow the progression of joint degeneration. We believe in addressing the root causes of joint dysfunction rather than simply masking pain. By combining advanced techniques with personalized care, we help patients maintain active, independent lifestyles without immediately resorting to medications or surgery.
Managing arthritis early offers significant benefits for both short- and long-term health. Early treatment can reduce inflammation, relieve joint pain, and help maintain flexibility and strength, slowing the progression of joint damage. Consistent care also minimizes the risk of secondary complications, such as muscle wasting or mobility loss. Patients who engage in proactive arthritis management often experience improved daily function, better endurance for physical activities, and a delay—or even avoidance—of invasive surgical interventions. By taking action early, patients gain greater control over their symptoms and can maintain a higher quality of life as they age.

Dr Hill is great! Knowledgeable of his craft & has great techniques. The office is friendly & inviting. My only suggestion is a bit more focus on cleanliness. I understand this is a local business but the standards of cleanliness should be applicable to any health care establishment. Keep in mind care here may differ from rehabilitation received at hospitals. E M2025-04-03Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

While arthritis itself is not reversible, early and ongoing treatment can significantly slow its progression, reduce symptoms, and preserve joint function over time.
Yes. Non-surgical approaches such as chiropractic care, targeted rehabilitation, and regenerative medicine can effectively reduce pain, improve mobility, and enhance joint stability without the need for invasive procedures.
Results vary but typically last 12 to 18 months. Maintenance treatments can help prolong and enhance the effects over time, especially as natural collagen remodeling continues.
Many patients begin to notice symptom improvement within a few weeks of starting a structured care plan, although optimal results may take longer depending on the severity of the condition.
In many cases, yes. With early, consistent intervention and a comprehensive care plan, patients can often delay or avoid the need for joint replacement surgeries.
