Your extremities can become injured easily due to everything from falls to sports injuries. At Van Every Family Chiropractic Center, we see a lot of patients with sprains and strains. Our doctors adjust all the extremities.
Relief After One Adjustment
With a single adjustment, we can take away 60-70% of the pain of a sprain. We use the gentle Koren Specific Technique (KST) and tools to adjust around the extremities.
Our doctors do a lot of adjusting when a person is in motion. For example, if your ankle hurts, we will have you put some weight on it so we can adjust it to clear it up even faster. Perhaps you have tennis elbow. We will adjust you in action as if you're swinging a tennis racquet.
If someone says, “It hurts when I do this,” we tell them to do it, and we will adjust them while they're performing the action so the pain can go away. Our goal is to break up scar tissue with multiple adjustments.
Help for Many Foot Problems
There are more bones in your feet than in your back. Any of those foot bones can get out of position. We see a lot of people with plantar fasciitis and heel spurs, so we adjust the feet to correct those issues. Many soccer players with sprained ankles also come into the practice for help.
The Foot-Organ Connection
You may not know it, but your feet connect to every organ. So if you're having a foot issue, you also could be having a gallbladder problem but not even be aware of it. As your feet are the foundation of your body, keeping them healthy also can help keep your body healthy.
Positional Adjustments
We do a lot of positional adjusting. For example, one of our patients plays the piano and would experience discomfort. We adjusted his fingers in the piano playing position, and now he can play even better!
Extremity adjusting questions
Extremity adjusting applies chiropractic analysis and gentle corrections to joints outside the spine, including feet, ankles, knees, hips, shoulders, elbows, wrists, and hands.
Patients often ask about extremity adjusting for sprains, strains, plantar fascia pain, heel discomfort, shoulder irritation, tennis elbow, wrist issues, and sports-related joint problems.
No. The doctors use gentle, specific methods such as Koren Specific Technique and positional adjustments. The goal is to improve motion and reduce stress without forcing the joint.
Yes. Extremity and spinal care often work together because feet, hips, shoulders, and hands influence posture, movement, and nervous system input throughout the body.
