Hip and Knee Pain Relief in Canberra
Are you concerned about wear and tear in your hips or knees? You’re not alone. At Canberra Spine Centre, we understand degenerative joint disease (DJD) is a common source of pain and disability for many Australians. But here’s the good news: the right approach can prevent or slow much of this degeneration.
More Than Just Age-Related Issues
Contrary to popular belief, DJD isn’t simply caused by aging. If it were, everyone at the same age would experience it equally throughout their body. The truth is, DJD is mainly caused by improper joint motion over time, which means you have the power to influence its progression.
Degeneration occurs when your body is overwhelmed by stress. These may include physical stress from injuries or poor alignment, chemical and emotional stresses, and repeated “micro” stresses from daily activities.
Whether you’re looking to prevent DJD or manage existing symptoms, we’re here to help. Our tailored approach combines chiropractic care with posture advice and rehabilitation exercises to keep you moving comfortably.
Five Steps to Healthier Hips and Knees
Our five-step program is designed to
- Increase Motion – try simple stretches like lunges for hips and knee bends
