Extremity Adjusting at Freedom Chiropractic in Grand Rapids, MI
What is Extremity Adjusting?
Extremity adjusting is a specialized form of chiropractic care that focuses on the joints outside of the spine. While traditional chiropractic adjustments are typically associated with spinal health, extremity adjustments target the joints in your arms, legs, hands, feet, and even the jaw. At Freedom Chiropractic in Grand Rapids, MI, our goal is to provide comprehensive care by addressing the entire musculoskeletal system, ensuring that your extremities are aligned and functioning properly.
Conditions That Can Benefit from Extremity Adjusting
Extremity adjustments can help alleviate discomfort, improve mobility, and promote overall joint health in various areas of the body. Some common conditions treated with extremity adjustments include:
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Adjusting the wrist joints can help reduce pressure on the median nerve, easing symptoms like numbness and tingling.
- Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis): Adjusting the elbow joint can improve mobility and reduce inflammation in the surrounding tissues.
- Plantar Fasciitis: Foot and ankle adjustments can help alleviate pain associated with plantar fasciitis, allowing for improved foot function and reduced strain on the plantar fascia.
- Knee Pain: Adjusting misaligned knee joints can help improve stability and reduce discomfort from injuries or conditions like arthritis.
- Shoulder Injuries: Extremity adjustments for the shoulder can enhance range of motion and reduce pain from conditions such as rotator cuff injuries or shoulder impingement.
Benefits of Extremity Adjusting
At Freedom Chiropractic, we believe that optimal health extends beyond the spine. Extremity adjusting offers several benefits, including:
- Improved Joint Function: Proper alignment of extremity joints helps them move more freely, reducing stiffness and discomfort.
- Injury Prevention: Keeping extremities aligned can help prevent injuries by ensuring that your joints are working in harmony with the rest of your body.
- Pain Relief: Whether you’re dealing with a chronic condition or recovering from an injury, extremity adjustments can help reduce pain and inflammation in your arms, legs, or other affected areas.
- Enhanced Athletic Performance: For athletes, extremity adjustments can optimize joint function, leading to better performance and reduced risk of injury.
What to Expect During an Extremity Adjustment
During your visit, our chiropractors at Freedom Chiropractic will perform a thorough evaluation of your extremity joints, looking for misalignments, swelling, or restricted movement. Once we identify the issue, we’ll apply gentle, targeted adjustments to restore proper alignment and function.
The process is similar to a spinal adjustment, where the chiropractor uses specific techniques to mobilize the joint. You may hear a slight “pop” as the joint is adjusted, which is a release of gas from the joint space and a sign of restored mobility.
