Generally, people experiencing any type of arthritis experience several different symptoms including:
Localized pain in the affected joints
Stiffness and reduced range of motion
Swelling and redness
There are two primary types of arthritis:
Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis is a type of arthritis that is caused by wear and tear on your joints. Over time, the cartilage that cushions your joints can break down, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion. Osteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis, affecting millions of people in the United States.
This is very common and generally becomes worse over time and as you age. It can start out mild and develop into more pain and discomfort over time without properly treating or managing the symptoms.
Chiropractic care can significantly help reduce the pain, swelling, and stiffness of your joints that are suffering from Osteoarthritis.
Rheumatoid arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis is a type of arthritis that happens when your immune system attacks the tissues around your joints. This can cause pain, stiffness, and problems moving your joints.
This is known as an autoimmune condition, and can not be treated with traditional chiropractic care. This usually requires medication from a medical doctor in order to manage.
How Chiropractors Treat Arthritis
Although there is no actual cure for arthritis, Chiropractic care has been proven to be extremely effective in helping mitigate and manage the symptoms. By performing Chiropractic adjustments, treatments help keep joints in line while relieving pressure off the nervous system. This helps reduce the typical pain, stiffness, and swelling caused by arthritis.
Typically, Chiropractic treatment for arthritis will result in:
Reduced pain and discomfort
Decreased inflammation
Improved range of motion
Improved flexibility
Chiropractic treatment for arthritis is one of the safest options available. It’s a non-invasive, non-addictive, all-natural option to reduce your pain and discomfort. That means you can get relief from your arthritis without surgeries or medications.
Chiropractic care can be a key component in minimizing and managing symptoms caused by arthritis and is highly recommended as part of your overall health plan.

I hurt my back moving wood on Saturday. By Sunday I was in pain. I called Dr. Tom first thing Monday morning. They got me in right away. I couldn't stand up straight or walk or sit comfortably. After 2 visits I could move, sit, drive without grimacing. I am so happy with the results and I highly recommend Dr. Tom. He is very knowledgeable and caring.
Highly recommend Dr. Tom at airport chiropractic. Have been going to him for years. He does an amazing job. I always walk out feeling better. Carrie is always there to greet me and my family with a smile.
Amazing experience! Dr.Tom is very professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about his patients. I’ve had great results and would highly recommend!!!
Initially saw Dr Tom for sciatica almost 2 years ago. He helped me heal with that issue. Been going every week since then to help keep my back and neck healthy. He’s patient and thorough and is attentive to my needs. I highly recommend him!<br>Office manager, Carrie, is also great and easy to work with.
Dr.Tom and Carrie are the best! 6 months ago i couldn’t play golf or do much at all but after a few adjustments and following there wellness program I could actually get some rounds in! my back hasn’t felt this good in yrs!
Amazing care with great availability! After suffering 12 days with an unrelenting headache and round the clock Tylenol and no answers from healthcare providers, one visit to Dr. Tom had me feeling human again. He was able to see me within hours of calling. In the future, this will be my first call.
I absolutely LOVE Dr. Tom! I started going back to Dr. Tom again not long ago. I had gone to him back in 2010 to help with back and migraine issues. I still have these issues and every time I go for an adjustment he not only listens to me when I tell him that something is bothering me (a certain pain in a certain location) and then he works on it. After adjustments I always leave feeling better than I was and feeling revived. I’ve come into the office several times with migraines and walked out without even a headache. If you have any issues that a chiropractor can help with then Dr. Tom is the one for you!
I have gone to Dr. Tom and his staff for quite some time. The care that is provided is by far the best. They make certain to ask questions and are very genuine. I love going to this place and so am sure you would too. Give them the chance to make certain that you also are well taken care of. They are my Go To!!
Dr. Tom and Carrie are GREAT!! Dr. Tom makes my back feel so much better so I can do my job! And, Carrie always greets me with a friendly smile and she’s super helpful!
I highly recommend Airport Chiropractic and Dr. Tom. I've been a patient for many years, and they've always taken great care of me. The staff is friendly, they offer effective treatments, and are flexible on scheduling or rescheduling.
They took the time to explain the treatment and have convenient times for appointments. I felt much better after only one treatment. Would highly recommend!!
When i walked in the door I was instantly comfortable. Such a nice greeting from Carrie ! Dr. Schiltz makes you feel very comfortable and takes time to talk and understand your issues. I had already had 3 appts at another chiropractor and just wasn't comfortable. I was blessed to find Airport chiropractic and get much needed relief.I highly recommend you schedule an appt. You won't be disappointed.
Absolutely the best service!! I came in for a sore neck and have stayed ever since! Carrie is so helpful and sweet and Dr Schlitz really cares about your problems and listens.
I have three herniated discs. Airport Chiropractic helped me immensely. Always very friendly, easy to get appointment, good explanation of what he's doing, and a Tootsie Roll pop at the end. I would recommend them to anyone in pain or discomfort.
I appreciate Dr. Tom and Carrie. Excellent service. Never been turned away when needed to be seen. Provides so much relief to my back. It has been life changing. Highly recommend!
I’ve been going there for a few years! I have always had a great visit! Dr.Tom has helped my pain and so happy with my treatment I also have my son and daughter-in-law go see him! I trust him that much!<br>Keri is just wonderful! She is kind and always ask about my family ! She really cares about people! I highly suggest that you check them out! You will not be disappointed!
I have had the best experience...staff is professional and willing to be flexible to your schedule.<br>If you need an adjustment then this is the place to go.<br>I would recommend to all my friends
Dr. Tom Schiltz knows his stuff.!! Went in barely able to walk, with my hip and back out of alinement, they got me in ASAP and took great care of me. Carrie at the front desk is also amazing, and ever so helpful. HIGHLY recommend this Chiropractor...you won't be sorry:-)
I have been suffering with severe vertigo, light sensitivity, and my head feeling too heavy for my body ever since I had sinus surgery in 2021. I was told I had vestibular migraines. They are rare and hard to treat. A coworker referred me to Dr. Tom. I didn't believe that anything would help me, as I had already tried several treatment options and nothing worked. Seeing Dr. Tom has made a world of difference. I went from having migraines all day every day, to only getting then every once in while. I would recommend Dr. Tom to anyone dealing with chronic health issues that are treatable with chiropractic care.
I've been going to Airport Chiropractic for 12 years now and have had nothing but amazing care. Dr. Tom has helped with so much. I went to him all through my marching band experience and never had a problem. Carrie is so personable and so sweet. She gets to know you and your family. Both the care and Carrie are the reasons I keep coming back.
Had never been to a chiropractor but was having back & neck pain so thought I'd give it a try. So glad I did, starting to see improvement. Would highly recommend Dr Tom & Carrie is very helpful with my needs & super sweet 😊
Been going here for 11 years, started out with low back pain and now I am on the Wellness Plan. It's allowed me to keep working and I'm almost 70 years old!
The staff is friendly and Dr Tom is very thorough when adjusting. I feel like they truly care how my day is going! They also have a flexible schedule and have worked with me to find appointment times that fit. They make me feel like family when I walk in.

I’ve been visiting Airport Chiropractic for several years. From being greeted at the door with a cheerful attitude to leaving feeling refreshed and ready to take in the day after being treated by Dr Tom. I would recommend Airport Chiropractic to anyone, it’ll do your body good and lift your spirits.
Been coming here since 2003, started with a plan and after finishing it I now come once a week. It helps to keep my back aligned and I feel better. Can’t wait to come every week!!
