Chiropractic and Osteoarthritis in Mataró
What is Osteoarthritis?
It is a process that affects the vertebrae and the joints of the spine, but it can also affect other joints such as the shoulders or knees.
It is a type of degeneration that occurs very slowly and takes years to show its destructive effects and even more years to produce pain.
It usually develops over a long period of time without the person realizing it. When symptoms appear, it has already existed for years, and statistically, for degenerative changes to be noticeable on X-rays, the processes of osteoarthritis take 10-12 years to develop.
It mainly develops due to mechanical disorders in the joint, which occur due to:
- Excessive compression accumulated over the years
- Mechanical distortion due to scoliosis
- Work and postural stress, especially sitting for long periods of time
- Muscle decompressions
- Repetitive and prolonged efforts
- As a result of damage to the intervertebral discs due to hernias in the case of the spine or the menisci in the knees
