Arthritis Treatment in Walnut Creek
No one should have to live in chronic pain. Arthritis can make life miserable, as it not only causes pain but also limits the activities you can do. With time, it may affect every part of your life, as pain leads to loss of movement and function.
At Holmes Chiropractic, we offer effective care for arthritis to minimize your experience of pain. Our safe, natural care helps restore you to maximum health and vitality so you can continue to do what you love.
The Wear and Tear of Aging
If we live long enough, all of us will gradually go through the process of degeneration and arthritis. Over time, bones and joints slowly break down and lose the ability to function normally. Discs and soft tissues also wear down, adding stress to the spine and surrounding muscles.
Picture the brake pads on a car. Just as they can wear down over time, losing their ability to function, this condition roughens the bone and joint surfaces.
Customizing Care to Your Needs
Common symptoms include chronic pain, joint swelling, stiffness, and loss of normal motion. Pain can range from a dull ache and tightness to sharp or radiating pain.
Gentle, Safe Chiropractic Care
When responding to your condition, we’ll start with gentle chiropractic care. We bring any misalignments in the spine or joints back into proper positioning. Adjustments help restore segmental integrity to the spine, decrease abnormal weight distribution, improve balance, and avoid spinal degeneration.
You don’t need to be afraid of rough or painful adjustments. Our chiropractic care is always safe and comfortable. We know how to achieve effective results with minimal force. Many of our patients are surprised by how easy the process is, so they’re not anxious before future appointments.

Addressing Pain From Every Angle
Depending on your situation, we may combine chiropractic care with physiotherapy or spinal decompression. Physiotherapy focuses on rehabilitating areas experiencing loss of functioning through targeted stretches and exercises specific to your needs.
During spinal decompression, you will be harnessed to our computerized table, which will ever so slowly and gently stretch your spine. And then relax. This process opens up the space between spinal bones, creating a type of “respiration” of the fluid that surrounds the joint. The damaged disc receives nourishment and gets rid of cellular waste, enhancing the healing process.
Empowering Your Body to Heal Itself
Our care is natural and medication free. Medicine can provide temporary relief, but it is not a long-term solution. It simply masks symptoms without addressing the root cause of the problem.
While arthritis is not reversible, we can drastically reduce the amount of pain and dysfunction you’re experiencing by helping your joints function better. Our goal is to help you avoid medications and surgery as you learn to trust and work with your body.
