Chiropractors Adjust Extremities?

  • Post comments:0 Comments

Do you have low back pain? What about neck pain? Most likely the answer to those questions is either yes I do or yes I have had them. Most people know that chiropractic care has been shown to help with both of these conditions. But did you know that chiropractors can help with so much more than just back and neck pain.

Joints in the extremities (ankle, knee, hand, shoulder, etc) can be adjusted just like joints in the spine. An adjustment, in a simplified sense, improves movement and function in joints and surrounding soft tissue. This includes extremities!

Extremity pain and injury account for up to 20% of chief complaints of patients coming into the office for care. Helping to restore normal function to joints, no matter where they are located, helps to improve the function of the kinetic chain, decrease pain, and improve blood flood to accelerate the healing process.

Dr. Harlow has taken additional coursework to become a Certified Chiropractic Extremity Practitioner (CCEP) and can help to evaluate and treat dysfunction in the extremities, whether it is an injury or simply the need to improve the biomechanics. If you suffer from chronic pain or even a recent injury to an extremity, set up an appointment at Harlow Chiropractic. You may be surprised how much chiropractic can help you.
