Understanding Joint and Extremity Adjustments

Common Issues Treated with Joint and Extremity Adjustments
Joint and extremity adjustments provide effective relief for various conditions that affect the joints in the limbs, hands, and feet:
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by pressure on the median nerve in the wrist, leading to pain, numbness, and weakness in the hand. Chiropractic adjustments relieve pressure on the nerve by realigning wrist bones and reducing inflammation.
Benefits: Reduces symptoms like tingling, numbness, and pain, helping restore hand function and comfort.
Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis is a common foot condition involving inflammation of the plantar fascia, causing heel pain. Adjustments to the foot and ankle can relieve tension in the fascia, improving alignment and reducing pain.
Benefits: Alleviates heel pain, improves foot alignment, and enhances comfort while walking or standing.
Shoulder Pain
Misalignments in the shoulder joint can lead to pain and restricted movement. Chiropractic adjustments correct joint positioning, helping relieve shoulder pain and improve mobility.
Benefits: Restores shoulder function, increases range of motion, and relieves pain due to misalignment or strain.
