Arm or Leg Pain in Little Neck?

The shoulder and hip joints are two of the most mobile and frequently used joints in the body. They are also a frequent site of injury and pain for many people we see in our Little Neck chiropractic clinic. From overuse to sports injuries, the causes are many, and the results range from slight discomfort to debilitating pain. The following article from Care Chiropractic gives information on some of the most common issues that lead to shoulder and leg pain, as well as a description of how chiropractic care can help relieve your symptoms.

TREATMENT FOR ARM AND LEG PAIN IN LITTLE NECK

There are many possible causes of your arm and leg pain. At Care Chiropractic, we will perform a thorough examination to figure out what exactly is causing your symptoms.

There are a number of different possible sources for the pain including bursitis, arthritis, and tendinitis. It is also very possible that problems in the neck and lower back are responsible for your arm and leg pain. If the spaces where the nerves leave the spine become compromised by disc herniations or degenerative changes, the nerve can become irritated, and often produces pain down its entire path. Many patients are surprised when they see that the nerves travel from the spine all the way to the ends of their fingertips and toes.

As a result, injuries to the vertebrae in the spine can create the sensation of pain anywhere along the entire length of the arms and legs. The pain patterns associated with sciatica, which run from the hip all the way to the foot, are a good example of how this works.
