Degenerative Joint Disease

Also is known as Osteoarthritis (OA) affects more than 20 million Americans. However, it is more common in women than in men.

 Typically the tissue (cartilage) on the bone connects at the joint and helps the bones glide as the joints move. 

However, the cartilage is broken down and eventually wears away. 

In other words, instead of gliding, bones rub against each other, causing pain, swelling, and loss of motion.

Although the underlying process cannot be reversed, symptoms can be effectively managed, through an active lifestyle, healthy weight, and chiropractic care.
