Extremely Painful Extremities!

Almost any type of regular daily activity may cause some kind of extremity problems.

The health of your spine is affected by the stability and health of your extremities—the parts of your body that aren’t your back and neck. If you’re having problems with your extremities, you may experience pain in any of the following:

  • Elbows
  • Wrists
  • Ankles
  • Hands and fingers
  • Hips
  • Knees
  • Feet and toes
  • Jaw
  • Shoulders

Almost any regular daily activity will cause some kind of extremity problems, whether your job involves sitting at a desk or moving heavy objects all day. Stiffness and weakness in your joints can be helped by your chiropractor.

Chiropractors Help More than Just Your Spine!

Although many seek our help due to back and neck pain, chiropractic has also been known to help you with pain in your extremities. You may also feel a tingling sensation, numbness, or instability in your extremity problem area, in addition to discomfort or pain.

With chiropractic we can help to increase blood circulation and restore proper function to the problem area, just like we would for your neck or spine.

These extremity problems can be causing your symptoms of pain, which can be felt throughout your body. Chiropractic care will allow your extremity to heal and function optimally, allowing you to live pain-free!

    Is it safe to see a chiropractor when you've been told you have a bulging disc that showed on a MRI? My main concern is not to add further damage.

      Hello Nalani! A bulging disc is one of the most common injuries we see in a chiropractic office. You certainly will not do further damage. In fact, chiropractic would decrease further damage by improving your overall posture and weight bearing position. A disc bulges under the pressure of an improperly aligned spine. Adjustments improve that alignment, thus improving overall disc health. I hope this helps! Dr. Joe
