Chiropractic Extremity Care

Chiropractors are typically associated with auto accidents, whiplash, and back pain. However, they provide far more than just neck and back help. One of the lesser-known areas chiropractors can also help with includes extremity treatment. Extremity chiropractic care is a safe and effective treatment of various conditions affecting the extremities. Finding a chiropractor experienced in extremity care who can tailor the treatment to your needs is important. Thankfully, The Spine Doc in Birmingham, AL, can help.

Breaking the Whiplash Myth

Our chiropractors work with issues over the whole body, especially where a body joint is involved. We can help a patient with pain relief and recovery. Extremity treatment covers several parts, including the hands and wrists, the rest of the arm, and the shoulder. Therapy also addresses issues with the toes, feet, bones, ankles, knees, and hips. Essentially, anything not part of the back, neck, and head falls into the “extremity” category.

Benefits of Extremity Chiropractic Care

Extremity care helps ensure all the arm and leg joints are working properly. These areas are far more prone to injury, because your joints interact with motion and are prone to contact injuries. Your joints can be twisted, pulled, and impacted.

Pain in this part of the body is often associated with nerve issues closer to the spine, if not due to an obvious cause near the location of pain. Extremity pain tends to heal faster once that cause is removed or fixed.

Extremities respond better to motion exercise and flexibility treatment. The smaller size of your extremities makes it easier to work with than the spine or neck. We can help you recover quickly with chiropractic care.
