Arm and leg pain can develop for many different reasons, from overuse and sports injuries to joint irritation, muscle strain, nerve involvement, or previous trauma. Sometimes the cause is obvious, such as discomfort that begins after lifting, exercising, falling, or repeating the same movement at work. Other times, pain develops gradually without a clear injury and can be more difficult to understand.

​

At McKenney Chiropractic, our goal is to look beyond where you feel the pain and evaluate the muscles, joints, movement patterns, and surrounding structures that may be contributing to your symptoms. Discomfort in the arms or legs may originate within the affected area itself, but symptoms can also sometimes be related to irritation involving nerves in the neck or lower back. This is why a thorough evaluation is important before deciding on treatment.

​

Patients may experience aching, stiffness, weakness, numbness, tingling, burning sensations, or discomfort that travels through an arm or leg. Conditions involving the shoulders, hips, knees, elbows, wrists, ankles, muscles, tendons, joints, or nerves can all produce similar symptoms. Your health history, recent activities, previous injuries, and physical examination can help our doctors better understand what may be involved.

​

Depending on your examination findings, treatment may include chiropractic adjustments, therapeutic modalities, massage therapy, rehabilitation, or other services available at McKenney Chiropractic. Care may focus on the spine, the affected extremity, or a combination of areas depending on what is contributing to your symptoms.

​

Every patient is different, and our goal is not to place everyone on the same treatment plan. We will explain what we find, discuss your options, and recommend an approach based on your individual needs, comfort level, and goals.

If arm or leg pain is persistent, recurring, or interfering with your everyday activities, our Belleview chiropractic team can help you determine the appropriate next step.
