Arthritis Treatments

Arthritis is a general medical condition characterized by joint stiffness and pain and is the leading cause of disability in the United States. The CDC reports about twenty-five percent of American adults have been medically diagnosed with arthritis. In raw numbers, this translates to more than 64 million (2020). This condition affects the quality of one’s life with the potential to become a serious disability. Dr. Mark Kowalkski of Kowalski Chiropractic in Dublin, OH, offers a variety of chiropractic care services to help ease the symptoms of arthritis, noting that those who are challenged by arthritis will benefit most when it is identified and treated early.
