Just like the spine, the joints of the arms and legs can develop fixations, subluxations, and motion restrictions that lead to pain, inflammation, and limited mobility. These issues may develop from injury, overuse, or faulty movement patterns that place added stress on the spine. Extremity dysfunction often affects the whole body—ankle restrictions can impact knee or low back mechanics, while shoulder instability can contribute to neck tension. For this reason, Dr. Lockwood and Dr. Jeffers assess both the spine and extremities when treating pain or mobility issues. Through gentle, precise adjustments, extremity care restores joint motion, reduces inflammation, and supports healthier movement patterns. Patients often experience relief from conditions such as plantar fasciitis, rotator cuff irritation, knee pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, and numbness or tingling in the limbs.
Ideal For:
Ankle or knee sprains and sports injuries
Shoulder pain or rotator cuff irritation
Knee or foot pain affecting daily movement
Plantar fasciitis and arch-related discomfort
Carpal tunnel syndrome or wrist strain
Tennis elbow or golfer’s elbow
Muscle strains and overuse injuries
Numbness or tingling in the arms or legs
Faulty movement patterns causing spinal pain
Chronic or acute joint restrictions in arms or legs
