Chiropractors can apply controlled force to a joint with focus improve its mobility, increase its function and decrease pain. These adjustments may help realign joints, decrease inflammation, and ultimately alleviate pain. A chiropractor can also straighten out your spine. Since the spine supports the limbs and your body as a whole, this could relieve tension in your extremities, thus reducing strain on your joints in both your arms and legs.
Mobilization
Chiropractors use gentle, low-force movements to increase the range of motion in joints and surrounding tissues. This can help decrease stiffness and improve overall joint function. A chiropractor can also teach you exercises to perform at home to increase mobility and range of motion.

We may use techniques that resemble massages, designed specifically to loosen up tense muscles and other tissues. This could reduce strain on your joints.
