Chiropractors Approach To Extremity Adjustment
When chiropractors talk about extremities they mean the numerous joints present in the body including the jaw, shoulder, ribs, shoulder, wrist, elbows, fingers, hand, hip, ankle, knee, toes, and the foot. Chiropractors always inspect spine to look for potential issues with subluxation, fixation, and joint irregularity but these subluxations, fixations and joint irregularities can also be present in the extremities. These problems in the extremities may also lead to chronic spinal issues. Commonly, the spine is checked and adjusted before going to the extremity to check and adjust it. The extremity adjustment should complement the spinal adjustment.
Some Of The Symptoms Of Extremity Fixation, Subluxation and Joint Irregularity Are:
- Fatigue or weakness felt in the extremities
- Painful extremities or joints of extremities
- Catching of the joints of extremities
- Stiff or immobile extremity joints
- Chronic back problems
- Chronic problems in the cervical region
What is The Aim Of Extremity Adjustment?
The aim of the extremity adjusting is to assess the extremity and then do an analysis and then develop a treatment for the extremity and synchronize this plan with plan for the spinal treatment.
