Yes. We address this daily. The results are relatively quick (many times within the same day of receiving our care). The results in time vary on the severity of your condition and the usage of your hands (ie. work [computer], gardening, etc).
Chiropractors mostly treat spine conditions but extremities are part of most chiropractors repertoire. However, arthritis pain in the hands is not really a condition that responds to chiropractic treatment. Corrective exercises combined with anti inflammatory diet and supplements can be very effective for that kind of condition.
Typically Chiropractic along with PT and CBD cream with specific exercises you can obtain relief. Good luck
Arthritis usually is helped with movement of the joint that is involved. So, moving the hand helps with pain. Chiropractic involves movement and releasing of the joints, so it would be a great option for you. The chiropractor should evaluate your specific arthritis to make sure you are a candidate.
