When most people think of chiropractic care, they think of spinal adjustments. Although spinal adjustments are certainly an important type of care we provide, there are many methods and techniques a chiropractor can use to help relieve pain, speed healing, and help you achieve better health. Extremity adjustment is an important type of treatment that can help with pain management. We provide extremity adjustments at Presence Chiropractic, serving Kansas City, MO, Waldo, MO, and the surrounding areas. Let's take a look at how extremity adjustments can help you.

What Are Extremity Adjustments?

An extremity adjustment is a type of chiropractic adjustment that focuses on the extremities of the body. The feet, legs, arms, hands, elbows, wrists, and shoulders can all be included in this category. An extremity adjustment is needed when there is joint pain present that needs to be addressed in these areas. An extremity adjustment can help with the following conditions:

• Leg pain
• Foot pain
• Elbow pain
• Wrist pain
• Hand pain
• Shoulder pain

Why Would I Need Extremity Adjustments?

If you are experiencing pain in any of these parts of the body, it could be caused by the joint in that area being dysfunctional or out of alignment. Joints can shift out of alignment due to injuries, stress, impact, or just everyday activities.

When the joint is out of alignment, it may start to experience a decrease in range of motion, an increase in inflammation, and you may notice pain. Many people simply resort to OTC pain relievers for this type of discomfort. Although these types of medications can be helpful in the short term, they do not address the underlying cause of the pain, which could be joint-related.
