Your aching joints are trying to tell you something about inflammation.
Living A Full Life
Chronic joint pain doesn't have to be your life sentence. As a chiropractor with nearly two decades of experience, I've witnessed countless patients transform their health by understanding one critical connection: inflammation.
That nagging pain in your knees, shoulders, or hands isn't just "getting old" – it's your body's alarm system signaling a deeper issue. One in four American adults struggles with chronic pain, and at its core lies inflammation, the smoldering fire that breaks down cartilage, irritates tendons, and creates persistent discomfort. But here's the crucial distinction many miss: acute inflammation heals us, while chronic inflammation destroys us.
The fascinating part? Your inflammatory fires likely have specific triggers you've never considered. Beyond the obvious culprits like sugar and processed foods, hidden factors may be fueling your pain – from improper sleep patterns elevating cortisol to environmental toxins in everyday products. Even that plastic water bottle heating up in your car could be contributing to your joint issues. For those who've "tried everything," undiagnosed gut dysbiosis or autoimmune conditions may be the missing piece.
Through this episode, I share the three-pronged approach that has consistently helped my patients find relief: targeted mobility (even when it hurts), strategic elimination of inflammatory triggers, and evidence-based supplements that support joint health. You'll learn why conventional testing often misses the root causes and how functional medicine offers a more comprehensive approach to identifying what's really happening in your body.
Whether you're currently managing joint pain or hoping to prevent it, this episode provides actionable strategies to put out the inflammatory fires and restore comfortable movement.
