Extremity Pain: Chiropractic is More Than Manipulation of the Spine...
Though chiropractors are known to be spine specialists, chiropractic treatment can be effective anywhere in the body such as the hips, knees, feet, elbows and wrists. Whether you have been affected by an injury, or are experiencing overuse due to everyday “wear and tear”, chiropractic helps to align the joints and optimize nerve function. Using physical therapy modalities, mobilization of the joint, stretching and soft tissue techniques, the overall goal is to restore balance in the joint to decrease pain, increase range of motion and optimize function. An at home exercise program may also be prescribed by the doctor in order to aid in recovery as well as improve joint stability.
