Arthritis can significantly impact your quality of life, causing pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. At our practice, we offer a holistic approach to managing arthritis that includes a variety of effective treatments. Our goal is to improve joint function, reduce pain, and enhance your overall well-being through personalized, comprehensive care.
Arthritis is a condition characterized by inflammation of the joints, which can lead to pain and decreased range of motion. The most common types are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, each requiring a tailored treatment approach. Our team is experienced in managing both types and creating individualized plans that address your specific needs.
Chiropractic care is a key component of our arthritis management at Foothills Chiropractic and Sports Injury Clinic. Our chiropractor uses gentle adjustments to improve joint alignment and function, which can reduce pain and enhance mobility. By focusing on the spine and other affected joints, we help to alleviate the pressure and inflammation that contribute to arthritis symptoms.
Ultrasound therapy is another effective treatment we offer. This non-invasive therapy uses high-frequency sound waves to promote circulation and accelerate healing. It can reduce joint inflammation and pain, making it an excellent option for arthritis patients. The mechanical effects of ultrasound therapy also help to break down scar tissue and improve tissue flexibility.
In addition to chiropractic care and ultrasound therapy, we provide personalized exercise programs to support your arthritis management. These programs focus on strengthening the muscles around the joints, improving flexibility, and increasing overall endurance. Regular exercise can help reduce arthritis symptoms and prevent further joint damage.
For immediate pain relief, we may incorporate cold laser therapy and manual therapy into your treatment plan. Cold laser therapy reduces inflammation and promotes tissue repair, while manual therapy helps to release muscle tension and improve joint mobility.
At Foothills Chiropractic and Sports Injury Clinic, we believe in a holistic approach to arthritis care that addresses both the physical and emotional aspects of the condition. We provide education and support to help you manage your symptoms and improve your quality of life. Our team is dedicated to helping you achieve long-term relief and maintain an active, healthy lifestyle. Discover the benefits of our comprehensive arthritis treatment plans.

Feel Something Wrong With Your Bones?
MAKE APPOINTMENTSam entered auto accident care at FCCO. She was experiencing pain and found it uncomfortable to be at her work computer, as if she was carrying a weight on her shoulders. Numbness around parts of the face was also an issue. Shortly after the accident, her planned trip overseas was dampened by poor sleep, dizziness, concussion-feeling, foggy and feeling irritable. After dedicating time to many chiropractic and massage treatments, Sam says she headaches are gone, and she feels energized after massage. Numbness is also much less frequent. And her pain dropped significantly. She continues with PT and stretches on her own to promote the best in her health and daily activities.
Samantha A.Earlier this year, I had an accident and hurt my shoulder. Was sitting in the passenger seat and leaning over when we got in the accident so the seat belt stopped my shoulder. I didn’t realize I had gotten hurt that bad. I couldn’t even reach behind my back or over my head to do my hair. Started seeing Dr. Venekamp for treatments and doing massage therapy. I noticed my range of motion increasing first, and then it wasn’t as sore. Also, the more massages I got, the better it got. I can reach way up and behind my back. I’m walking without pain; I can pretty much to anything I want without pain. I want to do some hiking with my niece and walking some more. And more traveling, photography.
RhondaWe've been under chiropractic care for 20+ years, since about ’96 when Dr. Kenna Venekamp was in Hot Springs, SD. (Esther): while playing baseball, my knee buckled. I saw Dr. Kenna who referred me to an Orthopedic Dr. for a torn ACL. Then both our kids started going to Dr. Kenna too. (Kirk): I was in construction and just so much stress on the body from that work and then falling off a roof. Dr. Kenna fixed my shoulder- both of them. (Esther): After Kenna left Hot Springs, Kirk did try other Chiro care but got to where he almost couldn’t walk because they couldn’t adjust his hips like Dr. Kenna (Kirk) We decided to travel to Fort Collins to see Dr. Kenna again. If I hadn’t come, I would be disabled by now. (Esther): if he hadn’t been adjusted, Kirk would have had to have surgery and more than likely wouldn’t be working today. We can’t say enough praise of Kenna saving our health. We’d like him to come to Hot Springs again for a couple days every so often.
