Request an AppointmentUpper Extremity Treatments
Your shoulder joint is the most complex joint in the body, with an exceptionally wide range of motion. Because of this, it’s prone to a wide range of injuries, misalignments, and accidents, all of which can lead to pain and restricted movement. An injury to the shoulder can also contribute to back pain or chest muscle pain due to its connections throughout the body. Upper extremity treatment tends to focus on restoring correct shoulder joint alignment and normal movement.
Lower Extremity Treatments
The hip joints aren’t quite as complex as the shoulders, but they’re still prone to pain from injury and misalignment. When the hip is affected, mobility issues can develop, contributing to back and leg muscle pain. Treatment can include both decompression therapy and other techniques designed to restore full range of motion to the hip joint.
Extremity Pain Causes and Treatments
Poor alignment of the back, shoulders, and hips is often the underlying cause of extremity pain. In some cases, poor stance or walking gait can contribute to foot problems that add to the issue. At SoCal Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic, we focus on chiropractic therapy using a decompression table to help restore your body’s natural alignment.
A decompression table gently stretches the body, creating space and an opportunity for a misaligned joint or spine to move back into its natural position without surgery or drugs. Decompression therapy is safe, effective, and proven over years of clinical use, offering an alternative that’s at least as effective as conventional approaches.
Extremity care is often paired with shoulder pain treatment and our core chiropractic care services for a more complete treatment plan.

Frequently Asked Questions About Extremity Chiropractic Care
What joints can extremity chiropractic care treat?
Extremity chiropractic care can address pain and dysfunction in the shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, and ankles.
How is extremity chiropractic care different from spinal adjustments?
While spinal adjustments focus on the back and neck, extremity chiropractic care targets joints outside the spine, using techniques tailored to each specific joint’s structure and range of motion.
Can shoulder pain really be linked to spinal alignment?
Yes. Because the shoulder connects to the rest of the musculoskeletal system, misalignment elsewhere in the body can contribute to shoulder pain and restricted movement.
Is extremity chiropractic care safe?
Yes. It’s a non-invasive, drug-free approach suitable for most patients dealing with joint pain or restricted mobility.
How many visits are typically needed for extremity treatment?
The number of visits depends on the joint involved and the severity of the issue. Your doctor will provide an estimated plan after your evaluation.
Can extremity chiropractic care help with hip pain?
Yes. Treatment for hip pain may include decompression therapy along with other techniques designed to restore full range of motion.
