Arthritis involves inflammation and wear within a joint, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion that can affect the spine, hips, knees, hands, and other joints. While the joint changes associated with arthritis are often permanent, the pain and stiffness they cause can frequently be managed with the right care.
Dr. Verg's approach for arthritis focuses on maintaining joint mobility and reducing the muscle tension that often builds up around arthritic joints. This may include gentle adjustments to improve motion in affected and surrounding joints, soft-tissue therapy to ease tightness, and individualized exercise recommendations to support joint function and reduce stiffness — helping many patients stay more active and comfortable in daily life.
