Restore Your Range of Motion with Chiropractic Care in Los Angeles
Are you struggling with a limited range of motion that affects your ability to perform everyday tasks? At Okhowat Chiropractic, we offer non-invasive treatments designed to improve your flexibility and mobility.
Understanding the Causes of Limited Range of Motion
Limited range of motion occurs when your joints or muscles are unable to move freely through their full range. This restriction can result from various causes, including:
Muscle or Joint Injuries
Strains, sprains, and joint injuries can cause tightness and restrict movement.
Poor Posture
Sitting or standing with poor posture for long periods can cause muscles and joints to become stiff.
Osteoarthritis
The wear and tear of cartilage over time can limit joint flexibility, especially in older adults.
Spinal Misalignment
Misalignment in the spine can cause tension in surrounding muscles, reducing mobility.
Post-Surgical Stiffness
After surgery, scar tissue or disuse of certain muscles can lead to a limited range of motion.
Signs You May Have a Limited Range of Motion
People experiencing a limited range of motion often report the following symptoms:
Difficulty Stretching or Bending
Difficulty reaching, bending, or stretching to perform daily activities.
Joint Stiffness
Feeling stiff in your neck, shoulders, hips, or other joints.
Pain with Movement
Pain or discomfort when trying to move in certain directions.

A noticeable decrease in flexibility or joint mobility compared to your usual range.
