Joint Pain Relief in Morgantown
If joint pain is slowing you down (hips, knees, shoulders, or spine), you’re not alone. As joints lose fluid and ligaments tighten with age, muscles work harder, which can irritate pain receptors with everyday moves like turning or getting out of a car. Dr. Stephen Toth examines why the pain appears where it does, not just where it hurts.
How Chiropractic Helps Joint Pain
Chiropractic care is perfect for addressing joint pain. Dr. Toth evaluates your whole kinetic chain (feet, knees, hips/ilium, pelvis, and spine) to find imbalances and compensation patterns. He restores joint motion and alignment to reduce mechanical stress and calm irritated nerves. Neuromuscular re-education after each correction helps your brain recognize the improved movement, ensuring the results last longer.
What to Expect at Your Visit
Your exam includes observing how you walk, sit, and move, as well as posture checks and motion palpation to pinpoint restricted joints. Adjustments may use Diversified, Thompson, or Activator® techniques (precise hands-on or instrument-assisted methods that gently free stuck joints). When appropriate, we may add ultrasound, laser, or interferential therapy to ease irritation and simple home exercises to reinforce progress.

Frequently Asked Questions
-Do I need X-rays before my first visit?
Not usually. Dr. Toth orders imaging only when exam findings indicate it’s necessary (about 10% of cases) and coordinates with local hospitals when needed. This conservative approach saves time, cost, and radiation without compromising safety.
-Does insurance cover chiropractic visits?
In most cases, yes. Our team is familiar with local plans, verifies your benefits, and explains any deductibles and copays up front. You typically do not need a referral to be seen in Morgantown.
