Inflammation: The Hidden Driver Behind Most Pain | Chiropractic Care in Philadelphia

Do you live with chronic joint or muscle pain in the Philadelphia area? You’re not alone—and inflammation may be to blame. At our clinic serving Upper Darby, Havertown, Media, and Bala Cynwyd, we help patients uncover how chronic inflammation drives pain and prevents healing.

What Is Inflammation and Why Does It Hurt?

Inflammation is your immune system’s way of healing—but when it becomes chronic, it starts damaging your tissues. Many of our Bryn Mawr and Wynnewood patients with back pain or joint issues discover their symptoms are worsened by underlying inflammation.

Cytokines: The Pain Messengers

Pro-inflammatory chemicals like TNF-alpha and IL-6 increase pain sensitivity and are elevated in patients with:

  • Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Chronic back and neck pain

Chiropractic Care for Inflammation Relief in Philadelphia

Our chiropractors in Philadelphia and the Main Line use spinal adjustments to restore joint movement and reduce inflammation. Many patients from Haverford and Broomall report improved mobility and decreased stiffness within a few sessions.

SoftWave Therapy: Advanced Inflammation Control

SoftWave Therapy, offered in our clinic, reduces inflammation by stimulating natural healing and lowering cytokine levels. It’s especially helpful for patients with long-term joint pain in Media and Bala Cynwyd.

Natural Ways to Manage Inflammation

  • Follow an anti-inflammatory diet (think salmon, berries, leafy greens)
  • Engage in low-impact exercise
  • Get 7–9 hours of quality sleep
  • Manage stress and avoid smoking or alcohol overuse
