Extremity pain in the arms or legs can originate in the spine if you have an injury. When you have compression in your spine, chiropractic adjustments can help ease the compression and reduce discomfort. At Facca Chiropractic Clinic in Birmingham, MI, our chiropractor, Dr. Robert Facca, helps patients with extremity pain by addressing the root cause of the pain. Spinal alignment is important for your overall health and an alignment can improve mobility, reduce pain, and decrease inflammation.
Chiropractic Care for Extremity Pain
Chiropractic care for extremity pain begins with an initial consultation to determine what is causing your pain. Chiropractic care helps get your spine into alignment so that your body can heal naturally. When you have a vertebrae that is out of alignment or a region in in your spine that is compressed, spinal adjustments can improve the alignment and provide pain relief.
Causes of Extremity Pain
If you have pain or tingling in your fingers, these symptoms can be caused by a pinched nerve in the neck. For patients who have a burning sensation in the back, it is usually caused by inflammation of the sciatic nerve. Our chiropractor can address nerve pain with decompression techniques, spinal adjustments, and other therapies to help spinal alignment and tight muscles. When the pain is burning, tingling, or feels numb, it is usually nerve pain.
Treatment for Extremity Pain
Our chiropractor will evaluate your spine to check if you have any areas of compression. Spinal adjustments might provide immediate pain relief, while ultrasound and massage will help improve circulation in the affected region. We may also use decompression techniques that can open up the space between vertebrae as part of your treatment for extremity pain. These treatments can include gentle stretching by hand or the use of a specialized table to provide traction to the area that is compressed. You will be scheduled several times a week during the acute phase of treatment for pain relief. Once your symptoms begin to subside, your appointments will be less frequent.
