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. Stephen Hill helped me through the entire process, answered all questions or concerns I had from day 1 & kept that same energy to my final day. I also saw him with other patients & he had a cool relationship with all of them… the receptionist was nice & worked with me & my crazy schedule every time I needed Rebekah Benson2025-08-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am a long time sufferer of chronic pain caused by a car accident, and chiropractic care is crucial to my pain management strategy. I see Dr. Hill and he is responsive to any area of concern each visit, and truly cares about each patient. I also partake in trigger point injections at the office with Dr. Owings, and as someone who has received them at other offices, I can say she is a pro.
