Leg & Arm Pain

Chiropractic care can be an effective approach for addressing arm and leg pain, especially when the pain is caused by musculoskeletal or nerve-related issues.

Below are some common reasons for arm and leg pain and how chiropractic care may help:

Common Causes for Arm and Leg Pain

  • Cause: Pain in the arms or legs can stem from nerve compression in the spine, such as a herniated disc, sciatica, or pinched nerves.
  • Chiropractic Care: Spinal adjustments can relieve pressure on the affected nerve, potentially reducing pain and improving mobility.
  • Cause: Dysfunction or misalignment in joints like the shoulder, hip, or spine can lead to pain radiating to the arms or legs.
  • Chiropractic Care: Performing adjustments to restore proper alignment and joint function, which can alleviate pain.
  • Cause: Muscle strains, ligament sprains, or tendon injuries may cause localized or radiating pain.
  • Chiropractic Care: Coastal Healthcare Partners  incorporates therapies like stretching, soft tissue mobilization, or rehabilitative exercises to promote healing and reduce inflammation.
  • Cause: Poor posture, whether from prolonged sitting or repetitive motions, can strain muscles and lead to referred pain in the arms and legs.
  • Chiropractic Care: At Coastal Healthcare Partners, we assess your posture, make adjustments, and recommend exercises to correct imbalances.
  • Cause: Misalignments in the spine may lead to referred pain in the extremities.
  • Chiropractic Care: Adjustments target the source of misalignment, potentially relieving the referred pain.
  • Spinal Adjustments: Focus on correcting misalignments in the spine.
  • Extremity Adjustments: Address misalignments in joints outside the spine, like shoulders, wrists, hips, or knees.
  • Therapeutic Exercises: Strengthen muscles and improve range of motion.
  • Modalities: Ultrasound therapy, electrical stimulation, or cold/heat therapy may be used to enhance recovery.
