Our doctors are trained to find and correct misalignments in your extremities.  When the joints of the extremities are misaligned, normal biomechanics are not possible and can cause pain.  In the same way that your spine's alignment can affect your limbs, the alignment and range of motion of your extremities can affect the alignment of your spine.  In fact, if a joint stays misaligned for long enough, it can cause a subluxation in your spine. 

​

In the tissues surrounding the joints of your limbs, there are mechanoreceptors that are responsible for sending sensations such as touch and pressure to your nervous system.  When these tissues are stretched due to a misalignment of the joint it can actually cause weakening of the muscle.  Without proper treatment, a simple occurrence of shoulder or knee pain can turn into a spinal problem that negatively impacts your daily life.
