Arm and Leg Pain Treatment

Dr. Bradley Eyford DC and Dr. Dena Marie Terranova DC

Arm and Leg Pain Specialist

Leg and arm pain are health problems that cause mobility issues. It may be due to benign muscle fatigue or frozen shoulder, or severe conditions like nerve compression.

Chiropractors help alleviate the symptoms and conditions that cause arm and leg pain.

We’ve been serving the Tacoma region for years and we have a team of the best chiropractors in Tacoma that can help you get rid of both types of arm and leg pain. The exact location of the pain depends on the cause. Nerve pain tends to be generalized, while pain due to arthritis, bursitis, or other inflammatory conditions is more localized.

Symptoms Of Arm & Leg Pain

Chiropractors have first to decide whether the pain is primary or secondary.

Primary pain usually starts from the leg or arm and then radiates to the other body parts. Secondary pain arises from somewhere else in the body and then reaches the arms or legs. The accompanying symptoms can be:

  • Weakness
  • Muscle fatigue
  • Muscle cramping
  • Difficulty in movement
  • Abnormal sensations like tingling and electrical shock-like feelings
  • Loss of sensation
  • Bladder and bowel leakage (with leg pain)

Causes Of Leg Pain

The primary causes of leg pain are:

  • Muscle cramps
  • Muscle strain or fatigue
  • Injury to joint, tendon, ligament, or muscle
  • Damage to ankles, hips, or knees
  • Poor biomechanics

The secondary issues causing leg pain are:

  • Subluxations (spinal bone misalignments)
  • Disc problems and more
  • Dehydration
  • Side effects of medications
  • Nutritional deficiency

Chiropractic Care For Leg Pain

Chiropractic care, a non-medical and non-surgical therapy, helps alleviate the pain symptoms and successfully and effectively treat leg pain.

Spinal adjustments fix subluxation, disc herniation, or any other problem like pinched nerves that lead to issues like inflammation, muscle spasm, and pain. Gentle chiropractic adjustments also treat any complications such as muscle weakness, numbness, and tingling sensation.

Chiropractors help in relieving frozen shoulders and the pain in the arms. They do so by using massage and other muscle-relaxing techniques. They also treat the condition like a spinal subluxation, pinched nerves, degeneration of the disc, and osteoarthritis of the spine, that compresses nerve roots and causes pain in the arm.

Can back pain cause pain in the arms and legs?

The nerves arise from between the two vertebral bodies carrying sensation to the whole body. If the nerve is compressed due to any pathology in the spine, it can involve limbs, too, resulting in pain in the arms and legs.
