Understanding Your Body and Joint Health

Introduction to Musculoskeletal System:

Your body comprises about 60% of bones, nerves, muscles, and connective tissues, all part of the musculoskeletal system. This system, including all your joints, plays a crucial role in your overall health by providing strength, stability, flexibility, and movement.

​

Common Joint Problems:

• Osteoarthritis: This joint disease breaks down joint tissue.

• Sprains: Injuries to ligaments around joints.

• Disc Issues: Problems with the discs in your spine affecting joint function.

• Spinal Curvature: Changes in the spine's alignment can impact joints.

These conditions can lead to the rapid deterioration of joints if not properly addressed.

​

Solutions for Joint Disorders:

• Chiropractic Adjustments: Aligns the spine and joints, reducing pain and improving function.

• Physiotherapy: Offers treatments to strengthen muscles and joints, improving mobility.

• Rehabilitative Exercises: Targeted exercises to repair and strengthen the musculoskeletal system.
