A common repetitive use disorder is carpal tunnel syndrome, which is characterized by tingling, numbness, weakness and pain into the hand from a compressed nerve in the wrist. However, you can also develop pain in the shoulders, elbows, and even in the neck, mid back and lower back from repetitive activities versus one particular trauma or incident.

The doctors would mobilize the nerves using ART, breaking up scar tissue around them, loosening tight muscles, and regaining motion, thereby decreasing the pressure on the nerves ...

Whether you have sprained an ankle or developed runner’s shin splints, a lower extremity injury can stop you from daily activities. These can be treated in our clinic with ART, as can plantar fasciitis, and other leg muscle strains or injuries. Some knee pain can be caused from the meniscus, the cartilage cushion within the joint, having become stuck or torn. If treated soon enough, it is possible to regain pain-free movement and get back to life.

Our doctors use ART to treat ...

Hip pain caused by a degenerative hip joint is painful and can cause a change to your gait, in turn leading to other aches and pains. Some hip pain is due to an injury, bursitis or a muscle strain, and can be just as painful. Some leg pain is radiating in nature, stemming from the lower back or an irritation along the course of the sciatic nerve, or other nerves in the lower extremity, where it is being tensioned within tight muscle tissues.

Back pain can be caused by multiple factors, whether a trauma at home or work, hereditary degenerative joint disease, poor posture, or sports. Some spinal pain can cause radiating pain into other areas, arms, legs, etc., complicating the symptoms and causing concern.

Some of the diagnoses we treat in the spine include degenerative disc disease, displacement of a spinal disc (“disc bulge,”) as well as sprain and strain injuries to the lower back, mid back and neck regions.

When appropriate, manipulation of the joints is utilized to ...

Whether due to trauma or repetitive use disorder, wrist and hand pain can be debilitating. Maybe you were gripping the wheel tightly when involved in a motor vehicle accident, or maybe you have typed 70 words per minute every day for 30 years. Either of these things can cause symptoms in your hands or wrist. Carpal tunnel syndrome is common, and can cause pain and/or tingling and numbness into the hand.

The doctors treat the median nerve where it travels through the carpal tunnel in ...

People can develop elbow pain from playing sports, or from repetitive activities. This can cause inflammation and pain in different aspects of the elbow and hinder daily life and hobbies.

ART is used in our clinic to treat elbow pain. This soft tissue treatment is done directly to the different muscles, fascia, and ligaments in the arm to gain function, thereby decreasing pain. There is no chiropractic manipulation done to the elbow joint itself, but sometimes pain can be relieved with other modalities ...

Shoulder pain occurs often, and can range from a simple strained muscle in the rotator cuff to a complete tear or rupture due to a traumatic injury. “Frozen shoulder,” or adhesive capsulitis, can occur with no trauma or injury at all, or after having the arm immobilized perhaps after a surgery. The capsule of connective tissue surrounding the shoulder joint tightens up causing pain and decreased range of motion.

When treating shoulder pain, our doctors will treat the muscles, fascia, and ligaments in the rotator cuff ...
