For patients seeking joint pain care for O’Fallon patients, our team can discuss symptoms and practical next steps.
chronic joint pain limiting everyday activities or keeping you from the activities you enjoy? Pain after a sports injury, auto accident, or work injury may deserve an evaluation. Infinite Wellness can help you discuss possible next steps for your symptoms. Request an appointment to talk with our team about your joint pain.
Joint pain can affect many parts of the body, and symptoms can vary from person to person. Infinite Wellness can evaluate concerns involving the following areas:
- Knee pain: discomfort, stiffness, or reduced function after an injury or with ongoing wear and tear.
- Shoulder pain: pain or limited movement related to everyday activity, overuse, or injury.
- Hip pain: discomfort that affects walking, exercise, sleep, or other daily activities.
- Ankle pain: symptoms after a sprain, strain, or other injury that may affect stability or movement.
- Wrist and elbow pain: upper-extremity joint pain related to repetitive stress or injury.
These examples are not a diagnosis. A clinician can discuss your symptoms, examine the affected area, and explain which evaluation or treatment options may be appropriate.
Symptoms can differ by person and by joint. Our team can take time to discuss your concerns, review your history, and explain options for the area that is causing pain. The goal is a care plan that reflects your needs without promising the same result for every patient.

Common Causes of Joint Pain
Joint pain often leads to stiffness, reduced mobility, and discomfort in areas such as the shoulders, knees, fingers, or toes. Many treatment options focus on addressing joint degeneration and supporting the body’s natural healing process.
Everyday factors — including repetitive physical stress and the natural aging process — can contribute to joint pain. Common causes include:
Osteoarthritis: A common form of arthritis that develops when the protective cartilage between bones gradually wears down. It typically develops over time and becomes more common in middle-aged and older adults, leading to stiffness and discomfort.
Rheumatoid Arthritis: A chronic autoimmune condition that can cause swelling, pain, and deformity in the joints, often affecting the fingers and wrists.
Traumatic Injury: Injuries from car accidents, sports, or workplace incidents can damage joints and surrounding tissues, sometimes requiring therapeutic intervention for proper healing.
Bursitis: Inflammation of the bursae (fluid-filled sacs that cushion joints), often caused by repetitive motion or prolonged stress. It commonly affects the hips, knees, shoulders, and elbows.
Tendinitis: Inflammation of the tendons — the tissues that connect muscle to bone — typically resulting from overuse or repetitive strain. It frequently affects the elbows, shoulders, or heels.
Each cause of joint pain presents differently and requires an individualized approach to treatment.
Treatments for Joint Pain
At Infinite Wellness Integrative Medical Center, we take an individualized approach to joint pain treatment. Depending on your symptoms, history, examination, and goals, care options may include chiropractic care, therapeutic exercise, or regenerative medicine and PRP for selected joint pain and injury concerns.
Chiropractic care and therapeutic exercise
When clinically appropriate, chiropractic care may include adjustments and therapeutic exercise to support joint mobility, movement, and function. Your clinician can discuss whether this approach fits your symptoms and goals.
Regenerative medicine and PRP
For some joint pain or injury concerns, regenerative medicine or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) may be considered after an evaluation. These options are not right for everyone, and the appropriate treatment, risks, and expected results vary by person.
How is joint pain treatment selected?
Your care plan is based on the location and duration of your pain, your medical history, and your functional goals. Our team can explain available options and help you decide what questions to bring to an evaluation.

Joint Pain Treatment FAQs
What joints can be evaluated for joint pain?
Joint pain may affect the knee, shoulder, hip, ankle, wrist, elbow, or other areas. An evaluation helps determine which next steps may be appropriate for your symptoms.
Can chiropractic care help with joint pain?
Chiropractic care may help support mobility and function for some patients when clinically appropriate. It may include adjustments and therapeutic exercise, but the right approach depends on the evaluation.
Is PRP right for every patient?
No. PRP may be considered for selected joint pain or injury concerns, but candidacy and treatment details vary. A qualified clinician can discuss whether it is appropriate for you.
When should I schedule an evaluation?
Consider an evaluation when pain persists, returns, limits daily activities, follows an injury, or comes with swelling, stiffness, or reduced function. Seek urgent medical care for severe pain after major trauma, visible deformity, inability to bear weight or use a limb, sudden marked swelling, fever with a hot or red joint, or new numbness or weakness.
