Joints Dr. Jack treats
- Hips. Hip pain is often tied to the pelvis and lower back, so Dr. Jack treats them together.
- Knees. Knee pain can come from how the hip and ankle are moving above and below it.
- Ribs. A rib that has shifted causes sharp pain with breathing or twisting, and usually responds quickly to an adjustment.
- Shoulders, elbows and wrists. Overuse problems and stiffness from work and sports.
Arthritis and stiffness
Arthritis changes a joint over time, but much of the day-to-day stiffness and pain comes from the muscles and the joints around it compensating. Gentle, low-force adjusting, soft tissue work and the right movement can help arthritic joints move more freely and hurt less.
Fibromyalgia
For patients with fibromyalgia, Dr. Jack keeps care gentle: light-force techniques, careful soft tissue work and attention to sleep, stress and nutrition.
Nutrition for joints
Inflammation and recovery are influenced by what you eat. Dr. Jack founded Advanced Body Foods after years of looking for natural ways to support his patients' joints. Ask him about nutrition at your visit.
