Gout Pain

Cincinnati Gout Solutions and Relief

Gout is an extremely painful form of arthritis characterized by sudden, severe attacks of pain, redness and tenderness in joints. The joint at the base of the big toe is the one most commonly affected by Gout, but it can form in any joint throughout your body.
Gout strikes between 3-5 adults per thousand and more than 95% of gout cases occur in men age 30 and older. It is estimated that over 6 million Americans suffer from gout.

Gout sufferers either produce too much uric acid or have problems excreting uric acid from their bodies. Both conditions result in an overage of uric acid which can crystallize in the joints and cause severe pain.

At Baker Chiropractic and Wellness, we have been helping patients inflicted with gout for over 20 years. With our safe and effective chiropractic care and guidance, we have developed an impressive history of reducing and treating the excruciating pain associated with gout. Please contact us by calling (513) 561-2273 or Schedule an Appointment here on our website at one of our three Cincinnati area clinic locations. We may be able to help you escape the painful grip of gout too!

What is Gout and What Causes Gout?

Over a period of time, abnormally high levels of uric acid in the blood form needle-like crystals that accumulate in joints and cause pain. Gout is caused by this elevated level of uric acid in the bloodstream.
Uric acid is a waste product from the normal breakdown of cells and proteins within the body. Excessive levels of uric acid can be the result of an increase in uric acid production, the inability of the kidneys to properly filter uric acid from the bloodstream or both.

When a person’s kidneys do not function normally, they are susceptible to developing gout. Diet is another leading cause. Over time, the consumption of certain foods and beverages can increase uric acid levels and precipitate gout. Obesity and hypertension are also contributors of elevated uric acid levels.

Protocol for Gout

The following is an example of the Protocol for Gout:

  1. Chiropractic adjustments, care and diet as recommended by your Baker Chiropractic physician.
  2. Optimal 1 Digestion – Take 2 with each meal.
  3. Optimal 2 Vitamin/Mineral/Antioxidant – Take 2 in the morning and 2 at night.
  4. Optimal Acute – Take 3, three times a day between meals.
  5. Optimal Liver / Kidney – Take 2 in the morning and 1 at night.
  6. Optimal Chronic – Take 2 in the morning and 1 at night.

Gout Symptoms

Many prescription medications can increase the uric acid levels in the body and lead to the development of gout. Examples of these medications include, but are not limited to:

  • Diuretics
  • Aspirin
  • Cholesterol Medications
Medications prescribed for the treatment of gout may help relieve symptoms, but they do not address the source of the problem. At Baker Chiropractic and Wellness, we do not mask symptoms with prescription medications. We are focused on finding the root cause of a health condition. Then, developing an effective treatment plan to decrease the pain and treat the problem.
