Joint pain is one of the most common health concerns that affects people of all ages. While occasional discomfort may be manageable, chronic joint pain can interfere with daily activities, mobility, and overall quality of life. At M Powered Chiropractic, Dr. Jeff Luke helps patients address the root causes of joint pain with natural, non-invasive care options that aim to restore balance and function to the body.
Chronic joint pain refers to persistent discomfort in the joints that lasts for more than three months. Unlike temporary pain from an injury, chronic pain often stems from long-term wear and tear, inflammation, or underlying conditions. It can affect the knees, hips, shoulders, spine, or hands, and may worsen with activity or prolonged rest.
Several factors contribute to ongoing joint discomfort, including:
Arthritis - Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis are leading causes of joint degeneration and inflammation.
Previous Injuries - Old sprains, fractures, or ligament tears can lead to long-term instability and pain.
Overuse and Repetitive Movements - Occupations or activities that stress the joints can accelerate wear.
Poor Posture and Spinal Misalignment - Imbalances in the spine place added stress on surrounding joints.
Lifestyle Factors - Excess weight, lack of exercise, or chronic inflammation can make pain worse.
Chronic joint pain may present in different ways, but common symptoms include:
Stiffness, especially in the morning or after rest
Swelling or tenderness around the joint
Reduced range of motion
A grinding or popping sensation with movement
Persistent aching or sharp pain
Chiropractic care takes a whole-body approach to managing chronic joint pain. Rather than masking symptoms with medication, Dr. Luke focuses on addressing the underlying issues that contribute to discomfort. Chiropractic techniques may include:
Spinal Adjustments - Correcting misalignments to reduce stress on the joints.
Advanced Muscle Integration Technique (A.M.I.T.®) - A specialized method used to identify and reactivate inhibited muscles, restoring stability and reducing stress on surrounding joints.
Soft Tissue Therapy - Reducing tension in muscles and ligaments that surround the joint.
Lifestyle and Posture Guidance - Personalized advice to prevent further strain.
Exercise and Stretching Programs - Targeted movements to build strength and support long-term joint health.
Patients who seek chiropractic care for chronic joint pain often experience:
Reduced pain and stiffness
Improved range of motion
Better posture and balance
Enhanced mobility for daily activities
A more natural, drug-free approach to managing long-term discomfort
Chronic joint pain can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to control your life. Through personalized chiropractic care, Dr. Luke at M Powered Chiropractic helps patients find relief, improve mobility, and regain confidence in their health.
