Ponte Vedra Wellness Center in Ponte Vedra Beach and Nocatee, FL, can use extremity chiropractic care to treat and manage several injuries or conditions. Continue reading to learn about extremity chiropractic care, what it can treat, and how it can help you.
What Is Extremity Chiropractic Care?
Extremity chiropractic care is a branch of chiropractic medicine that focuses on diagnosing and treating conditions affecting the joints of the body beyond the spine. These include the shoulders, elbows, wrists, hands, hips, knees, ankles, and feet. Your chiropractor can identify misalignments in these joints and use gentle adjustments to alleviate pain and restore proper joint function.
What Conditions Can Extremity Chiropractic Care Treat?
Extremity chiropractic care can help several injuries or conditions involving the musculoskeletal system and joints. Your chiropractor can use extremity chiropractic care to treat the following:
- Personal injuries: Car accidents, sports injuries, and other incidents can cause musculoskeletal problems, including joint pain, muscle strains, and ligament sprains. Extremity chiropractic care can help manage pain, improve mobility, and promote healing.
- Joint pain: Whether you experience joint pain due to arthritis or overuse injuries, extremity chiropractic care can alleviate pain in the shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, ankles, and feet.
- Whiplash: This common car accident injury affects the neck and can cause pain, stiffness, and headaches. Extremity chiropractic care can help improve the range of motion in the neck and reduce associated pain.
- Neck and back pain: While often associated with spinal adjustments, extremity chiropractic care can complement traditional chiropractic care by addressing related joint dysfunction in the shoulders, hips, and other areas contributing to back and neck pain.
How Can Extremity Chiropractic Care Help You?
Extremity chiropractic care offers a natural and non-invasive approach to pain management and improving joint function. Your chiropractor can correct misalignments in the extremities to provide the following benefits:
- Reduced pain: Chiropractic adjustments can help alleviate pain in the affected joints, promoting faster healing and improved comfort.
- Improved range of motion: Extremity chiropractic care can restore proper joint function, increasing flexibility and range of motion.
