Arthritis Treatment in Roseville, CA
Conservative chiropractic care and advanced therapies to reduce joint pain, stiffness, and inflammation.
If you’re dealing with arthritis in Roseville, you may be experiencing joint pain, stiffness, swelling, or reduced mobility that interferes with daily activities. Arthritis can affect the spine, hips, knees, shoulders, and other joints, making movement uncomfortable and limiting the activities you enjoy.
Arthritis is often described as “wear and tear,” but pain and stiffness are not simply inevitable parts of aging. How joints move, load, and function plays a major role in how arthritis feels and progresses over time.

Arthritis Symptoms We Commonly See
Arthritis symptoms can vary depending on the joints involved and the type of arthritis present. Some people experience mild stiffness, while others deal with persistent pain and reduced mobility.
Common arthritis symptoms include:
-
Joint pain or aching
-
Stiffness, especially in the morning or after inactivity
-
Reduced range of motion
-
Swelling or tenderness around joints
-
Pain that worsens with activity or prolonged positions
-
Discomfort in the spine, hips, knees, shoulders, or hands
-
Difficulty with daily movements such as walking, bending, or lifting
Symptoms may fluctuate over time, particularly when underlying mechanical stress or inflammation continues to affect the joint.
A Different Approach to Arthritis Care
Arthritis is often treated as an irreversible condition where pain management is the only option. While structural changes in joints cannot always be reversed, how those joints function can often be improved.
Pain and stiffness are frequently influenced by restricted joint motion, uneven loading, muscle imbalance, and inflammation. When joints don’t move well, surrounding tissues compensate, increasing stress and discomfort.
We take a more comprehensive approach to arthritis care. Dr. Todd Bunning brings over 22+ years of chiropractic experience to identifying how joint mechanics, movement patterns, and spinal alignment may be contributing to arthritis-related pain.
Chiropractic Care forms the foundation of treatment by improving joint motion and reducing abnormal stress. When appropriate, additional therapies are used to address inflammation, muscle tension, and circulation to help patients move more comfortably and confidently.
Care is always individualized based on symptoms, exam findings, and how your body responds over time.
Restore Joint Health
How Chiropractic Care Helps Arthritis
Arthritis pain often worsens when joints lose proper movement. Restricted joints increase friction, stress surrounding tissues, and contribute to stiffness and inflammation.
Chiropractic care focuses on restoring controlled, healthy joint motion. Through precise, targeted adjustments, restricted joints are guided into improved movement patterns. This can help reduce stiffness, improve mobility, and decrease mechanical stress on affected joints.
Improved joint motion allows forces to distribute more evenly across the joint rather than concentrating stress in one area. This often leads to reduced discomfort and better overall function.
Chiropractic adjustments are not about forcing joints beyond their limits. They are controlled, intentional movements selected based on your comfort level, joint condition, and response to care.
For many patients with arthritis, maintaining joint mobility is key to staying active and reducing pain over time.
How We Identify Mechanical Contributors to Arthritis
An arthritis diagnosis alone does not explain how a joint is functioning.
As part of the evaluation process, we assess how your body moves, loads, and stabilizes through affected joints using objective structural indicators. This helps identify mechanical contributors that may be increasing joint stress.
Rather than relying solely on symptoms or imaging findings, assessment compares your movement patterns to established biomechanical norms. Areas may be identified as functioning within expected ranges or showing deviations that contribute to discomfort.
For patients with arthritis, this often reveals:
-
Restricted joint motion
-
Uneven loading through joints
-
Compensatory movement patterns
-
Stability deficits increasing joint stress
This information allows care to be applied with greater precision and provides a clear baseline to track progress as movement and function improve.
Integrated Treatment Options for Arthritis
Arthritis often involves multiple contributing factors, including joint restriction, muscle tension, inflammation, and altered movement patterns. Because of this, care may involve more than one therapeutic approach.
At Back On Track 2 Wellness, Chiropractic Care is supported by advanced, in-house therapies when appropriate. Many of our patients find relief through a combination of Chiropractic adjustments, Shockwave Therapy to break up scar tissue, and Laser Therapy to reduce inflammation.
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave Therapy delivers focused acoustic waves into chronically stressed tissues. It is effective at addressing muscle tension, breaking down scar tissue, and supporting mobility around arthritic joints.
Laser Therapy
Class IV Laser Therapy uses targeted light energy to help reduce inflammation, improve blood flow, and support cellular repair. This therapy is helpful and effective in calming irritated tissues surrounding arthritic joints.
Spinal Decompression
For patients with arthritis affecting the spine, spinal decompression may be used to reduce joint and disc pressure, improve spinal motion, and support comfort without surgery.
