Extremity Adjustments in Johns Creek
When you think of chiropractic care, what comes to mind? If you’re like many people, you probably picture someone getting their back or neck adjusted. Chiropractic care, however, extends far beyond back and neck pain. It’s called extremity adjusting. Dr. Austin targets the feet, knees, hips, shoulders, elbows, and wrists. This type of chiropractic care plays a crucial role in overall alignment and function.
If you’ve ever experienced joint pain or struggled with mobility issues, you could likely benefit from extremity adjustments.
The Feet: The Foundation of Movement
Did you know that a quarter of the bones in your body are in your feet? These small but mighty structures absorb shock, support your weight, and influence the alignment of your entire body. Improper footwear, injuries, and misalignments in the feet can contribute to pain in the knees, hips, and even the lower back.
As Dr. Austin explains, “Feet can have an effect on shoulders. I’ve had feet have an effect on headaches before.” Addressing foot alignment can improve posture, balance, and the effectiveness of other chiropractic adjustments.
Knees and Hips: Addressing the Chain Reaction
Knee and hip discomfort often stem from issues in surrounding joints and muscles. If the feet aren’t properly aligned, the knees can suffer from instability and improper movement patterns. Muscle imbalances in the quads or hamstrings can also lead to knee misalignment. That’s particularly the case for those who spend long hours sitting. Chiropractors not only adjust the knees but also work on strengthening the muscles that support them, ensuring long-term relief and stability.
Shoulders, Elbows, and Wrists: More Than Just the Spine
Just look around and you’ll see people spending lots of time on their digital devices, from their phones to tablets. Repetitive motions like typing, texting, and using a mouse create strain on the upper extremities. Forward head posture from excessive screen time puts added stress on the shoulders, leading to discomfort and reduced mobility.
Many elbow and wrist issues originate from the shoulder or how the arm is positioned throughout the day. Chiropractic adjustments to the shoulders, elbows, and wrists help restore proper function. And they reduce pain caused by misalignment and overuse.
