Chronic Stress-Related Joint Pain
At Fountain Valley Physical Medicine in Fountain Valley, CA, our doctors are experienced in chiropractic, medical and physical therapies that can ease chronic stress-related joint pain. This type of chronic pain is a common complaint in our fast-paced and tension-filled world.
What Stress Does to the Body
When the body feels anxiety or tension it produces cytokine molecules. Those molecules travel to the joints and they can cause painful inflammation. Patients with an existing condition like osteoarthritis may also find that stress intensifies their already chronic pain. Our team at Fountain Valley Physical Medicine will evaluate the joint pain and use the latest technologies to relieve the discomfort.
Joint Pain Treatment
Our full range of treatment options include:
Massage: Through the careful use of pressure, oxygen and nutrients are released throughout the body to reduce pain and stiffness in the joints.
K Laser: Our newest treatment option for chronic pain involves this low-level laser that sends wavelengths of light directly to the affected joint to aid in healing.
Electrical Stimulation: This painless procedure sends tiny electrical waves through the skin to the affected joint to promote healing.
Joint Injection-Injectables: These injections place substances like corticosteroids and hyaluronic acid directly around the affected joint to reduce inflammation and pain.
Pain Cream: There are creams that penetrate the skin and bring relief to aching joints.
Your Fountain Valley Physical Medicine chiropractor will create a custom treatment plan for your joint pain. A gentle adjustment is one tool that can reduce pain by properly aligning ligaments, tendons, and bones. Our doctors are also able to discuss lifestyle changes to reduce stress-related joint pain including proper nutrition, regular exercise, and relaxation techniques.

Our modern world is filled with stressors and that tension can lead to chronic joint pain. Our team will look for what is causing your joint pain and examine all the options to reduce pain, stiffness, and inflammation through our whole-body approach with chiropractic care.
