How Do You Get Rid Of Joint Stiffness?
Joint stiffness is a common symptom of arthritis, which is a condition that affects the joints and surrounding tissues. Osteopathy is a form of complementary therapy that aims to improve the function and mobility of the joints and muscles by using manual techniques such as manipulation, massage, and stretching. The following is something an osteopathic practitioner would do to reduce and treat joint stiffness:
Increasing the blood supply to the affected area, which can promote healing and reduce inflammation.
Relieving muscle tension and spasms, which can cause pain and limit movement.
Restoring the normal alignment and balance of the joints, which can improve their range of motion and flexibility.
Enhancing the function of the nervous system, which can regulate pain perception and muscle tone.
