So what is the cause of back pain? The number of injuries, misalignments, and conditions that cause back pain seems endless. Due to the complex structure of the back that is required to absorb stress while permitting movement, many elements of this structure such as tendons, ligaments, discs, muscles, and bones can become irritated or damaged resulting in pain. Sometimes it is severe trauma, such as a car accident, that can result in back pain and other times it is minor repetitive stress that causes the most damage. Therefore, you may not be able to recall any particular event that caused the onset of your pain. In addition to all of these possibilities, physical injury is not always the primary cause. Emotional stress can also increase the sensitivity of your body and mind to pain.
So how can chiropractic help my arm and leg pain? As with any condition, you want to start with treating the most common and typical cause of the pain and symptoms first. Misalignments (subluxations) of the vertebrae in the neck or back are responsible for the vast majority of arm and leg pain. As described above, when these joints aren’t moving properly, they cause irritation, and lose their ability to communicate via the nervous system. This can cause what is called radicular pain (arm or leg pain), or even radiculopathies (arm or leg pain with accompanying symptoms) if the damage is bad enough. Many people are surprised when they see that many of the nerves in our body travel from our spine all the way to the ends of our finger tips and toes.
Your shoulders are used in just about every activity that you do. These activities add stress to your shoulders and enough stress can cause damage or irritation of the shoulder joint. This damage can cause rotator cuff tears, tendinopathies, aberrant movement patterns, or improper shoulder positioning that can cause pain with movement or loading. Chiropractic can help by optimizing movement of the spine which is required for shoulder movements, fixed position of the shoulder, or even give exercises that will improve the capacity for the shoulder to endure load.
The hips receive all of the load when we are standing or sitting. Jobs that require long hours in one position can cause stress to these joints that lead to inflammation and swelling. One of the benefits of chiropractic care is that it can help reduce pain and inflammation in the hip joint. Chiropractors use gentle adjustments or manipulations to realign the spine, which can help alleviate stress on affected joints. This can result in decreased pain levels and a reduction in joint inflammation.
Chiropractic care can also help improve range of motion and flexibility in the hip joint. By restoring proper movement to the spine and pelvis, chiropractors can help improve the function of the hip joint and reduce pain and discomfort.
“Jared was extremely nice and professional, definitely makes you feel comfortable. He asked good questions to target my pain area. Office was very clean. I work up feeling as though I almost wanted to go to hospital I was in so much pain, no meds helped. I went in and he gave me great adjustments and huge relief. He took time, I wasn’t rushed, and it also didn’t take forever! I would definitely recommend him and will be going to him in the future. His pricing is very affordable. Thank you for your help I feel so much better!”
Plan about 15–20 minutes for the exam; first-time patients should allow an extra 15–20 minutes for intake forms.
Motus offers simple, transparent walk-in pricing and flexible membership plans — no insurance hassles. Many patients use their HSA or FSA card to pay for chiropractic care since it typically qualifies as a medical expense. Check your plan details to confirm eligibility.
Chiropractic care is effective for a wide range of musculoskeletal issues — back and neck pain, headaches, sciatica, shoulder and hip pain, and arm or leg pain caused by nerve irritation. Treatment focuses on restoring joint motion and reducing the source of discomfort, not just masking symptoms.
Wear comfortable, athletic or loose-fitting clothing so Dr. Leifer can assess and treat you easily. First-time patients should bring a photo ID and be ready for a short intake form.
Chiropractors are licensed professionals who provide non‑surgical, drug‑free care for musculoskeletal problems. They adjust or manipulate the spine and other joints to relieve pain and improve function, and some studies indicate that patients with low back pain may experience better relief from chiropractic care than from a visit to a family doctor.
Chiropractic treatment for chronic neck pain or tension headaches can also work better than medication and typically includes exercises and stress‑reduction advice.
Yes. While spinal adjustments are commonly associated with low back pain, chiropractors also address a wide range of conditions. Chiropractic care can relieve neck pain, tension headaches, migraines, whiplash, sacroiliac joint pain, frozen shoulder syndrome and knee pain.
Treatment often involves joint adjustments combined with exercises, stretching and advice on posture and ergonomics to restore mobility and reduce pain.
