Relief for Inflammation

Remember the time in your life when you were the healthiest you had ever been? You could do it all! Walking? Easy. Running? No problem. Playing sports or swimming at the beach? Easy. You probably felt strong and invincible. When we are young, it is easy to jump right up out of bed, go for a jog, keep up with the little ones, or stand for long periods of time. As the years go by, our bodies can go through a lot, and our physical condition changes. At Doyle Chiropractic, patients from Keller, TX, and the surrounding area come to Dr. Cody Doyle seeking relief from pain as a result of injury, aging, or specific physical conditions. Sometimes these conditions have something in common: inflammation.

What Is Inflammation?

Often back, joint, and muscle pain can be attributed to inflammation, which affects our bodies in several ways. Those who suffer from this condition sometimes experience swelling, painful joints, redness, joints that are warm to the touch, and stiffness which limits movement. Inflammation can also present flu-like symptoms: fatigue, fever, chills, loss of appetite, or headache.

Inflammation occurs when our white blood cells work to fight off infection and inflammatory substances in the body. However, because of arthritis, the body automatically starts fighting by sending an inflammatory response – even though there is no infection to fight. This is a condition you may have heard of before: autoimmune disease. Unfortunately, when the body starts fighting itself, the joints begin to swell, become painful, and the cartilage begins to wear down. Autoimmune disease can result in damage to the body’s tissue and organs over time.

Reversing the Effects of Inflammation and Arthritis

Dr. Doyle has treated patients who suffer with inflammatory arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis, and lupus. These chronic conditions can be managed to reduce pain and increase range of motion. If you suffer with swollen, painful joints or have difficulty walking or gripping everyday items, it may be time for an evaluation and discover the therapies Dr. Doyle offers that can bring relief.

Following your evaluation, the doctor will recommend specific treatments for you. Among them, ultrasound is an option – a heat therapy that works on muscles and tissues that surround your joints. Over time this treatment can reduce the pain of inflammation and increase your range of motion. Acupuncture is another approach using holistic medicine that uses strategically-placed needles to promote healing by improving blood flow to effected joints and muscle groups. Chiropractic and myofascial release treatments involve a hands-on approach that helps align your musculoskeletal system, promoting flexibility and pain reduction. Dr. Doyle can also recommend exercises you can do at home to increase your flexibility, strength, and overall wellness as well as nutritional guidance and herbal therapies that may help reduce the inflammation in your body.
