How Does Extremity Adjusting Work?
Extremity adjusting involves manipulating joints outside the spine to improve biomechanical function and reduce pain. These adjustments are essential for addressing issues in the extremities that may affect overall health and wellness. By ensuring proper alignment and movement in these joints, we help our patients achieve better function and relief from discomfort.

Our extremity adjusting services help with various conditions, including:
- Ankle sprains
- Hip pain
- Tennis elbow
- Shoulder pain
- Carpal tunnel
- Arthritis
- Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders
The Step-by-Step Process of Subluxation Correction
Subluxations, or joint misalignments that alter nerve communication, may cause a proprioceptive deficit, where the brain struggles to understand the body’s position and movement. This deficit leads to decreased neuromuscular control and instability, increasing the risk of injury. Our step-by-step process includes:
- Assessment: We conduct a thorough evaluation to identify subluxations in the spine and extremities.
- Spinal Adjustment: We adjust the spine first to ensure a stable foundation for extremity adjustments.
- Extremity Adjustment: We target the affected joints to restore proper alignment and function.
- Follow-Up Care: We provide ongoing care to ensure long-term relief and prevent future issues.
The Importance of Spinal Adjustments Before Extremity Adjustments
Adjusting the spine before addressing extremities is crucial. A subluxated spine can create tension patterns that affect distant joints. For example, carpal tunnel syndrome, often seen as a wrist issue, can originate from the neck.
By first adjusting the spine, we create a stable foundation, allowing extremity adjustments to be more effective and longer-lasting.
Global Mechanical Assessment for Complete Care
Our global mechanical assessment evaluates the entire body to identify subluxations and dysfunctions, which involves muscle testing of extremities to determine if issues originate from the spine or other areas. By understanding the interconnectedness of the body’s systems, we provide targeted and effective adjustments.
Dysfunction in one part of the kinetic chain can affect the entire system. Subluxations close to the spine, such as the hip or shoulder, may cause issues down the chain. Addressing these subluxations ensures the entire kinetic chain functions properly, promoting overall health.
