What Causes Joint Pain and Stiffness?

Understanding the root cause of your joint discomfort is the first step toward lasting relief. Dr. Buckle commonly treats joint pain stemming from osteoarthritis, previous injuries like sprains or fractures, repetitive strain from work or sports, poor posture and biomechanics, age-related degeneration, and inflammatory conditions such as bursitis. Many patients in the area also experience joint problems from auto accident injuries, prolonged inactivity, or years of physical strain that have caught up with them.

Joints We Treat

Dr. Buckle provides specialized care for:

  • Knee pain and stiffness
  • Shoulder pain including frozen shoulder
  • Hip pain and restricted mobility
  • Elbow conditions like tennis elbow
  • Wrist and ankle issues
  • Spinal joints throughout your neck and back
  • TMJ dysfunction
Whether your pain affects one joint or multiple areas, Dr. Buckle’s Palmer College education and years of experience treating joint conditions in Wayne County provide the expertise needed for effective relief.

Recognizing When You Need Care

You may benefit from chiropractic joint care if you experience morning stiffness lasting more than 30 minutes, reduced range of motion, swelling around joints, pain that worsens with weather changes, clicking or grinding sensations, or difficulty with stairs and daily activities. Don’t wait until pain becomes severe. Early intervention prevents degeneration and helps you maintain the active lifestyle you deserve.

How Dr. Buckle’s Approach Restores Joint Function

Static joints around the spine and throughout your body lead to disc dehydration and increased inflammation. Dr. Buckle’s targeted adjustments create the mobilization and movement that joints need to function properly, promoting natural hydration and reducing harmful inflammation. This approach addresses the underlying mechanical problem rather than simply masking symptoms.

Dr. Buckle employs Diversified adjustments, Lumbar Flexion Distraction, Thompson Drop technique, and mechanical adjustments with specialized instrumentation. Each technique offers unique benefits for different types of joint problems. Treatment is always tailored specifically to your individual needs, comfort level, and the particular joints affected. This personalized approach ensures your joint pain receives the most appropriate and effective care possible.

What to Expect During Your First Visit

Your first appointment includes a comprehensive health history and joint-specific examination with range of motion testing. Dr. Buckle performs orthopedic and neurological assessments to understand exactly what’s causing your discomfort. You’ll discuss your goals and concerns openly, and he’ll create a personalized treatment plan. Your first gentle adjustment is adapted to your comfort level, and you’ll receive practical home care recommendations to support your healing between visits.

Expected Results and Timeline

Many patients notice improvement in joint pain and mobility right away, while others see gradual progress over a few weeks. Dr. Buckle typically expects to see positive change within the first few treatments and communicates honestly about your progress throughout care. The goal is not just immediate relief but creating lasting improvements that keep you moving comfortably for years to come.
