Why joints start to hurt
As we age, joints lose some of their fluid and ligaments tighten. The muscles around them work harder to compensate, and everyday moves like turning to look behind you or getting out of the car start to hurt.
Looking at the whole chain
Your feet, knees, hips, pelvis and spine all work together. A problem in one place often shows up as pain in another. Dr. Toth watches how you walk, sit and move, checks your posture, and uses motion palpation to find the joints that aren’t moving well.
How care helps
- Diversified, Thompson or Activator adjustments to gently free stuck joints
- Neuromuscular re-education after each adjustment, so your body holds on to the better movement
- Ultrasound, laser or interferential therapy when they help calm irritation
- Simple home exercises to keep the progress going
Patients come to us with
- Arthritis-related stiffness and aching
- Hip, knee or shoulder pain from posture or overuse
- Trouble turning, twisting or getting out of a car
- An uneven pelvis or a “short leg” feeling
