What Are Extremity Joints?
The term "extremity joint" can be used to refer to any joints in the body outside the spine. Joints on the upper half of the body are called "upper extremity joints," while joints on the lower half are called "lower extremity joints." Examples of extremity joints include:
- Shoulders
- Arms
- Wrists
- Hips
- Knees
- Ankles
These joints are frequently used, which means they're subject to wear and tear. In addition, like the spine, these joints can become misaligned. Other issues, such as compressed nerves or soft tissue restrictions, can cause pain and discomfort.
Several issues can cause pain, stiffness, and swelling around the extremity joints, including overuse, injury, and chronic health conditions like rheumatoid arthritis. Extremity adjustments from a chiropractor are one of the best and most effective ways to manage these symptoms.
How Treatment from Our Chiropractor Can Help

- Wrist pain
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Shoulder pain
- Hand pain

Chiropractic care can reduce inflammation, providing immediate pain relief. In addition, it can restore lost range of motion and help the body heal from any injuries causing painful symptoms.
Chiropractic care has many other health benefits, along with extremity pain. It can reduce muscle tension and stiffness throughout the body, making it easier for you to move and complete basic tasks. When you regularly visit our chiropractor, you may also see improvements in your immune system and pulmonary function!
Even if you're not experiencing pain in your extremities, issues with your extremity joints could trigger other adverse symptoms. For example, pain, referred from one part of the body to another, is frequently experienced by people with extremity joint dysfunction.
