Is it safe to go to a chiropractor if you have arthritis?
It is safe for someone with arthritis to go to a chiropractor. In fact, it is one of the best things that you can do. After doing a detailed history and examination, the chiropractor would more than likely get a set of X-rays to determine the severity of arthritis. This will allow them to determine if there is any contraindications, and it will help them to determine the best treatment plan in your case. READ MORE

For some people, they have pain and/or swelling in the ankle joint. There may be restricted range of motion. It may feel like the ankle is jammed or locked up.

That is where some people would feel pain and not the restricted joint itself. READ MORE
