Care for Inflammation & Stiffness in Burlington
Waking up stiff every day isn’t something to shrug off. If it lasts more than 15 minutes, it may signal osteoarthritis, a degenerative joint condition. Stiffness that lingers even longer might suggest other inflammatory types of arthritis. Either way, your body is speaking up. Aches and stiffness aren’t “normal”; they’re red flags.
Hidden Triggers You Might Overlook
Diet is one of the biggest culprits behind chronic inflammation. Foods high in sugar, white flour, or simple carbs may quietly fuel pain from the inside out. Even “healthy” foods—like some fruits or protein shakes—may cause trouble depending on your gut health and sensitivities. What works for one person might cause inflammation in another.
Why Weather Can Worsen Discomfort
The Role of Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic adjustments restore joint motion and relieve pressure. When the spine moves properly, it promotes better nervous system function. This can help your muscles, joints, and even organs perform more efficiently, reducing the overall burden on your body. While gut inflammation may need naturopathic support, better spinal health still improves nerve signaling to your digestive organs.
When Stress Adds Fuel to the Fire
Stress affects more than your mood. It suppresses your nervous system and disrupts your body’s ability to regulate inflammation. People under chronic stress often live in a state of tension, which contributes to pain, muscle tightness, and slower healing. Supporting the spine can help shift your body out of fight-or-flight mode and into repair.
Sore After an Adjustment? It’s a Good Sign
Just like going to the gym, adjustments can leave you feeling sore at first. That’s your body responding to better alignment—a corrective change, not a harmful one.
