Common Questions:

• Can chiropractic help with bone spurs?

  • Bone spurs and other arthritic changes to the joints are a common response to a long-standing malfunction. Restoring proper joint function will hopefully at least slow this degenerative process.

• Can cracking your knuckles cause damage?

  • Knuckle cracking does not damage the metacarpal joints of your hand. However there is a danger of overextending already loose knuckle joints. Restoring motion to these or other joints of the body is best left to an experienced professional.

• Will a wrist brace help? 

  • Braces are often prescribed to help protect the wrist and reduce mobility which causes pain. While it may help to alleviate certain symptoms, it essentially ignores the malfunctioning joints that are causing the problem. Chiropractic treatment will help restore proper motion to the affected joints and strengthen supporting muscles and soft tissues. Most patients are able to resume activities without a brace.
