Can Chiropractic Help?

So how can chiropractic help my arm and leg pain? As with any condition, you want to start with targeting the most common and typical cause of the pain and symptoms first. Our doctors at Pathways Chiropractic and Wellness have found over many years that misalignments (subluxations) of the vertebrae in the neck are responsible for the vast majority of arm and leg pain. As described above, when these bones are out of position and lose their ability to move properly, they often cause irritation to the surrounding tissues including the nerves. 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 fingertips and toes.

As a result, injuries to the vertebrae in the spine can create the sensation of pain anywhere along our arms and legs. Through this pattern of care, patients at our office have experienced high levels of success through chiropractic adjustments.
