| CHIROPRACTORS ASSOCIATION OF AUSTRALIA
Osteoarthritis is a disease affecting joints. Of all CAM therapies, chiropractic continually rates high among utilisation and satisfaction surveys. Not only because spinal adjustments and manipulative therapies have been shown to help arthritis patients, but because chiropractors fundamentally dedicate most of their university education to 1) manually examining joints, of the spine and the extremities 2) physically treating joints without drug or surgery 3) diagnostically imaging joints, 4) analysing imaging of joints, 5) discussing cases where diagnosis warrants referral for treatment by other specialties 6) presenting advice on factors influencing co-management of arthritis, such as lifestyle, exercise, nutrition either as an alternative to, or complementing, medical options.
