Extremity Joints-A Very Special Speciality

Pain in the extremity joints—shoulder, elbow, wrist, knee and ankle—can be incredibly debilitating. For instance, your shoulder joints move almost constantly—even when you walk. Trying to sleep with nagging pain in your limbs can be a challenge.

What’s most frustrating is the lack of options presented to patients. Anti-inflammatory drugs may relieve the symptoms but play havoc on the digestive tract and the heart. Surgery is another choice but, let’s face it, it’s the court of last resort.

And while the average chiropractor may do a fine job getting rid of your back pain, most offer little help for extremity pain.

At Fink Family Chiropractic, we deal with extremity joint problems every day. All the clinic doctors have taken specialized training in the treatment and management of extremity joint syndromes. Our approach is based on functional muscle testing. Patients are tested before and after each treatment. The results [improved strength, reduced pain] are immediate. A series of extremity treatments are normally required to stabilize the joint, along with prescribed rehab exercises.
