Joint Pain Care in Aberdeen
Joint pain can make everyday life feel harder than it should. Climbing stairs, reaching overhead, staying active with your children or grandchildren, or even settling into a comfortable night’s sleep can become challenging. Whether you are noticing shoulder stiffness, knee discomfort, hip pain, elbow strain, or ankle problems, we understand how quickly joint issues can affect your routine and confidence.
We do not focus on symptoms alone. We take a whole body approach to understand what may be contributing to your joint pain and movement limitations. By looking at how your joints, muscles, and movement patterns work together, we identify restrictions, imbalances, and compensation patterns that can build over time. From there, we create a plan that supports improved comfort, mobility, and function in a way that fits your goals.

Our Approach to Joint Pain
We start with a thorough assessment of your joint function, movement patterns, and areas of tightness or restriction. This helps us understand not only where you feel pain, but also what may be influencing it elsewhere in the body.
Our care at Aberdeen Chiropractic Clinic focuses on three priorities. We work to reduce joint restriction that may be limiting movement, ease soft tissue tension that can place extra strain on vulnerable areas, and support more balanced movement so your body can function more efficiently. We combine joint mobilisation techniques with trigger point therapy and functional movement work, always tailored to your needs, comfort, and current ability.
Techniques We Use
We use well-established techniques and adapt them to each person. Joint mobilisation supports improved joint movement in areas that feel stiff or restricted. Trigger point therapy addresses muscular tension that can contribute to discomfort and reduced mobility. Functional movement work helps retrain control and coordination, reducing unnecessary strain through the joints over time.
When appropriate, we may also include rehabilitation exercises, kinesio taping for support during activity, and ultrasound or heat therapy to promote comfort as tissues settle.
Supporting Your Recovery at Home
Progress should continue between visits. We provide clear home exercises to support mobility, strength, and stability, based on your presentation. We also guide a gradual return to normal activity, so you can build confidence without provoking repeated flare-ups. Home care helps maintain the improvements we are working towards together and reduces the chance of the same patterns returning.
