Causes & Risk Factors of Joint Pain & Arthritis
Joint pain and arthritis can stem from various factors, ranging from injuries to chronic conditions. Understanding these causes and risk factors empowers you to make informed decisions about your health and treatment options.
Common Causes of Joint Pain
Joint pain may result from:
- Osteoarthritis – Wear and tear on joints over time.
- Rheumatoid Arthritis – An autoimmune condition causing joint inflammation.
- Injuries or Trauma – Accidents or repetitive strain.
- Gout – A buildup of uric acid crystals in the joints.
- Tendinitis – Inflammation of the tendons due to overuse.
Certain factors can also increase your likelihood of developing joint pain and arthritis.
Risk Factors for Arthritis
Several lifestyle and genetic factors may contribute to joint issues, including:
- Age – Wear and tear naturally increases over time.
- Weight – Excess weight places additional stress on joints.
- Genetics – Family history may increase your risk.
- Previous Injuries – Past joint injuries can lead to long-term discomfort.
- Gender – Certain types of arthritis are more common in specific genders.
While these factors don’t guarantee arthritis, they can increase susceptibility. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise, a balanced diet, and preventive healthcare can help reduce the risks.
Recognizing Symptoms of Joint Pain & Arthritis
Early detection of joint pain and arthritis symptoms can improve long-term outcomes. Watch for:
- Stiffness, especially in the morning or after inactivity.

What Our Patients Say
Hear from our happy patients! See how chiropractic care at Wagner Health Center has improved their health and well-being.
I injured my back over 20 years ago in the military and then my neck in a motorcycle accident so have been to many chiropractors over the years. Dr. Wagner is top notch. I’ve found that allot of chiropractors just do the same basic set of adjustments every time regardless of what’s wrong with you. Dr. Wagner actually listens, evaluates and only adjusts what and where is needed. I was surprised to see someone comment that they felt he jerked their neck? With my past neck injury Dr. Wagner has adjusted my neck many times and I’ve never felt any rough treatment. He has even adjusted one of my daughters. With a specialty of working with children you obviously know how to be gentle.
I have highly recommended Dr. Wagner to several people and will continue to do so!

Ahhhh…. I’m in love with a married man!! I went for my first ever visit yesterday evening. We did the whole consultation/evaluation thing and an adjustment. I have never been to a chiropractor before… i just woke up last week with unbearable neck/back pain and couldn’t move like i should have been able to. So i searched around and found Dr. Wagner on here and thought I’d give it a shot. I think I’m hooked.

Was having really bad lower back pain called to hopefully get in with him the same day. Was surprised when I called and Dr. Wagner picked up. I first asked if he accepted my insurance and then described my problem area. He instructed me to come in when he opened later that day to see him. I got there and was greeted by Dr. Wagner. After I finished my paperwork I went into his consult room where we went over my problem area and he described to me what he does and how chiropractors can eliminate pain. I was adjusted and it felt amazing. I’m going for a follow up appointment in a couple days. dr. Wagner was patient and funny. Will definitely be back 🙂
