Arm & Leg Pain Relief in Blaine
Pain in your arm or leg isn’t always caused by an injury at the site of the discomfort. While a strained muscle, sore joint, or overuse can certainly be responsible, discomfort that travels down an arm or leg sometimes begins somewhere else entirely. In many cases, the source of the problem may involve the spine, where nerves exit the neck and lower back before extending into the hands and feet.
Following the Path of Your Symptoms
The pattern of your pain often tells an important story. Aching around a single joint may point to one type of problem, while pain accompanied by numbness, tingling, or burning sensations may suggest that a nerve is involved. Conditions affecting the neck can create symptoms in the shoulder, arm, or hand, while irritation in the lower back may cause discomfort that extends into the hip, leg, or foot. Because arm and leg pain can have many causes, identifying the origin of the symptoms is one of the most important parts of the evaluation.
Finding Answers Before Treatment
Rather than guessing, Dr. Frach performs a detailed assessment to better understand how your joints, muscles, nerves, and spine are functioning together. If additional testing or imaging is appropriate, those recommendations will be discussed so you have a clear understanding of the findings. Depending on your condition, chiropractic care may be recommended on its own or alongside other services available within the practice. Recommendations are always based on your examination, symptoms, and the activities you want to return to.
