Extremity Adjusting in Jersey
Did you know that the chiropractic approach that works so well with the spine can be applied to other joints of your body? Virtually every articulation of your skeletal system is susceptible to fixations that can impair function and range of motion.
At The Wellness Centre (Castle Quay), our experienced chiropractors can identify and address issues in the joints of your arms, hands, legs, feet, and jaw, as well as your spine—to help you feel, function and move your best!
Common Extremity Conditions
If you’re experiencing any of the following symptoms, we recommend booking an appointment with us to explore how chiropractic care can provide relief.
Wrist
Carpal tunnel syndrome, often caused by compression of the median nerve in the wrist ligaments, can be linked to misaligned joints in your neck, shoulder, elbow, or wrist. By identifying the involved joint(s) and implementing a personalised chiropractic care plan, surgery can often be avoided, offering a non-invasive alternative.
Jaw
Stress, teeth grinding, and spinal issues can contribute to temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, affecting the connection between your jaw and skull. Skilled chiropractic care has the potential to restore proper nervous system control over associated muscles and ligaments, effectively reducing pain, stiffness, clicking sounds, or locked jaw.
Shoulder
Numerous shoulder problems stem from the area where the nerves branch out from the spinal cord and exit the neck. Those experiencing shoulder pain or radiating arm discomfort may also encounter weakness, numbness, or tingling sensations in their wrists or hands. Many patients have reported remarkable improvements through chiropractic care.
Elbow
Lateral epicondylitis, more commonly known as tennis elbow, often plagues those who engage in repetitive forearm movements. Carpenters, mechanics, office workers, cashiers, and individuals performing frequent hammering, grasping, or rotary motions are at risk. A thorough examination followed by appropriate chiropractic care has yielded excellent results.
Hip
The hips and sacrum form the sturdy ‘pelvic girdle’, serving as the foundation of your spine. Dysfunction in these sacroiliac joints can impact nerves exiting the spine. While chiropractic adjustment of the hips can yield remarkable results, it’s important to note that hip problems may also arise from malfunctioning joints above or below the pelvis.
Ankle
The ankle, being the most frequently injured joint in the body, requires utmost attention and care. Pronation, a condition marked by feet flaring outward and kneecap rotation inward, is a common foot issue. Weak arches lead to unstable foot positioning and increased stress on the foot. By adjusting malfunctioning joints within the feet and incorporating custom shoe orthotics, tenderness can be reduced, gait can be improved, and stability throughout the entire skeletal system can be achieved.
At The Wellness Centre (Castle Quay), our comprehensive chiropractic care extends beyond just the spine. We’re dedicated to helping you find relief, enhance your overall wellbeing, and embrace a life filled with mobility and vitality.
