Same Day Appointments
Gentle, hands-on care to quiet aching joints and bring back easy movement.
When shoulder, hip, knee, or spinal arthritis flares, everyday things can feel enormous—standing after a meeting, climbing stairs, rolling over at night, opening a jar, getting out of the car.
At Springwater Chiropractic, our team provides compassionate, precise chiropractic care for arthritis that focuses on what’s actually driving your discomfort: stiff joints, irritated tissues, guarded muscles, and movement patterns that keep loading the same sore spots. With an experienced arthritis chiropractor guiding you, you can move with less hesitation, sleep more soundly, and feel like yourself again.
Ready for steady, sustainable relief?
Pain has a way of shrinking your world. Maybe your first steps in the morning are slow and stiff. Maybe your knee complains on every stair. Maybe your hip aches when you finally sit down, and your shoulder throbs if you sleep on your side. Arthritis and osteoarthritis don’t always look dramatic on the outside—but the constant ache, the sharp catches, and the fatigue are real.
Common experiences our patients describe:
You deserve care that listens, explains, and creates a path you can actually follow. As your chiropractor for osteoarthritis, we meet you with empathy, a thoughtful exam, and a step-by-step plan that respects your history, goals, and schedule.
If your exact diagnosis isn’t listed, don’t worry—most arthritis-related pain maps back to predictable combinations of limited joint glide, protective muscle guarding, and movement patterns that compress sore tissues. Our exam will clarify your drivers and prioritize what helps fastest.
Because quieting the pain signal is different from improving how your joints move and tissues load. Medications may take the edge off, but they don’t restore glide in a stiff knee, help your hip share work with your spine, or re-train shoulder mechanics so motions feel smooth again. A skilled arthritis chiropractor blends joint-specific techniques with targeted soft-tissue care and practical exercise so comfort can grow and last.
What meaningful progress can look like:
If you’re looking for chiropractic care for arthritis that treats the cause—not just the symptoms—you’re in the right place.
There’s no one-size-fits-all neck. Your plan is custom—built around your body, lifestyle, and goals.
We begin by understanding your story: when it hurts, what eases it, what you want to do more of, and what you’re afraid of. Your goals shape the plan.
We evaluate joint mobility, capsular stiffness, muscle quality, nerve sensitivity, alignment, gait, and how you tolerate load. If imaging would change care—or if red flags are present—we coordinate promptly.
We use gentle mobilization or adjustments to restore glide in stiff segments (spine, shoulder, hip, knee). When joints move better, tissues don’t have to grip and grind to protect you.
Myofascial release and trigger-point techniques ease guarding in rotator cuff, hip flexors, glutes, quads/hamstrings, calves, and spinal stabilizers so the joint isn’t tugged from every angle.
A few high-impact drills, custom to your day: shoulder blade control, hip stability, knee tracking, deep core/neck flexor activation, balance training, and graded strength. Simple, doable, and progressive.
Desk and driving setup, sleep positions, warm-up routines, pacing strategies, and joint-friendly movement substitutions. Small changes, big relief.
We coordinate with your MD or PT as needed, refer for injections or imaging when appropriate, and keep your plan transparent at every step.
We focus on reducing pain and stiffness, introducing positions of relief, and restoring gentle motion. You’ll leave with a short list of always safe movements and sleep setups that make nights easier.
We expand pain-free range, refine joint mechanics, and build basic control. Activities like stairs, overhead reach, or longer walks begin to feel less loaded and more natural.
We add thoughtful strength—glutes and core for hips/knees; rotator cuff/mid-back for shoulders—so the joint is supported by resilient muscles, not just grit.
We match your plan to your real world—gardening, lifting, longer workdays, recreational sport—and craft a simple maintenance routine to keep your gains (and calm flares quickly).
We help shoulder, hip, knee, and spinal arthritis every day—with clear exams and gentle, effective progressions.
When joints are angry, waiting weeks isn’t an option.

Arthritis describes changes in the joint, but pain doesn’t equal inevitable decline. When joints glide better, surrounding muscles share the workload, and daily stresses are smarter, many people hurt less and do more—even if imaging shows arthritis.
Sitting can stiffen the capsule and surrounding tissues; descending increases kneecap load. Improving hip strength, ankle mobility, and kneecap tracking typically eases that downhill sting.
No. We use gentle, well-tolerated techniques. The goal is to improve glide, not force motion. For sensitive joints we favor low-force mobilization and soft-tissue work.
That phrase can sound scary. Many people with advanced osteoarthritis still move comfortably with the right strategy. If a surgical opinion is appropriate, we’ll help you get it—while maximizing comfort and function now.
Not usually. A careful history and exam guide safe, effective care for most cases. We recommend imaging if your symptoms suggest it would change next steps.
Pressure and temperature shifts may influence joint fluid and pain sensitivity. While we can’t change the weather, we can teach strategies that keep you moving well on stormy days.
Usually yes—with smart modifications. We’ll swap painful moves for joint-friendly variations so you stay active while your joint calms and strengthens
Some feel lighter within a few visits; others improve steadily over weeks as mechanics and strength change. We’ll set milestones so you can track progress beyond pain alone.
Yes—when tailored. We have gentle options and avoid thrust techniques when inappropriate. Your safety and comfort set the pace.
Many arthritis flares settle with conservative care. If progress stalls—or if signs suggest you’d benefit from a medical consult—we’ll coordinate so you have the full picture.
Choose positions that ease pressure on the sore joint, use brief heat or ice as you prefer, take short movement breaks if you sit, and try the simple mobility/activation drills we’ll personalize for you. Small steps, consistent wins.
