Help for Arthritis in Burlington
Arthritis is something many people deal with every day. It causes stiffness, aching joints, and that frustrating feeling when movement just doesn’t come as easily as it used to. Over time, it can make even simple tasks feel like a challenge. The good news is that there are gentle, non-invasive options that may help you stay comfortable and keep moving with confidence.
Sandra’s Story
At 70, Sandra was loving retirement life—long walks, gardening, and time with her grandkids. But gradually, those activities started to become more challenging. The stiffness in her knees and hands became harder to ignore. Even short walks left her feeling uncomfortable. That’s when she decided to visit our practice and see if chiropractic care could help her move with a little more ease.
Getting Started
On her first visit, Dr. Andrew took the time to really listen and understand what was going on. He performed a careful assessment to see how her joints and spine were moving. Together, they decided to try the Activator Method®, a gentle technique that uses a small spring-loaded instrument to deliver light, targeted impulses to specific areas of the body.
Her Path Back to Comfort
- Month 1-2: Sandra began care with three visits per week. At first, the changes were small—less stiffness in the mornings, a little more flexibility in her hands. But those small changes started to add up.
- Month 2-3: As her body adapted, Sandra came in twice a week to maintain progress. She found herself walking farther, moving easier, and feeling more like herself again.
- Ongoing Care: Now, she stops by every two weeks for maintenance visits. Sandra’s joints feel looser, her walks are longer, and she’s enjoying her hobbies again, without worrying about constant discomfort.
Everyone responds differently. Sandra’s story reflects her own personal experience.
Gentle Care That Supports Movement
Sandra’s experience is a great example of how low-force chiropractic techniques can help support joint mobility and everyday comfort. The Activator Method’s precision and gentle approach made it easy for her to stay consistent with care, and that consistency made a difference.
