It is common knowledge that chiropractic care works wonders for many suffering from symptoms of back, neck and spinal related problems. However, many are unaware that chiropractic treatment also provides excellent results in a variety of non-spinal related conditions including those related to the extremities. Chiropractic manipulative treatments that chiropractors often apply to the spine can also used by chiropractic physicians on the joints of the extremities including the hip, ankle, knee, foot, wrist, hand, elbow and shoulder joints. Adjustments, or manipulations of these joints involves a safe, controlled and specific force that is skillfully applied in order to restore normal joint motion that in turn provides nutrients to the joint, reduce adhesions, reducing inflammation and pain.A research study conducted recently compared the outcomes of treating patients with shoulder complaints with usual care from a general practitioner (medical doctor) both with and without the additional care of manipulative therapy applied directly to the shoulder girdle. 

After 12 weeks after initiating care, those receiving the additional manipulative therapy had better outcomes related to shoulder pain, neck pain. At 26 weeks, those receiving the additional manipulative therapy had statistically superior outcomes in shoulder pain, shoulder mobility and mobility of the neck. 

If you’re suffering from extra-spinal problems such as problems with the legs, hips or arms, contact a chiropractic physician to see if safe, natural and effective chiropractic care might be the solution for you!
