At Maplewood Spine Chiropractic Center, we understand that chiropractic care isn’t just about addressing spinal issues.

Whether you’re experiencing discomfort in your wrist, jaw, shoulder, elbow, hip, or ankle, our skilled chiropractors can help you find relief without the need for drugs or surgery.
Extremity Adjusting Explained:
Many people are unaware that chiropractic techniques, which are effective for spinal health, can also be applied to other joints in the body. Virtually every articulation of your skeletal system is susceptible to fixations that can impair function and range of motion. Let’s explore how extremity adjusting can benefit you:
Wrist:
Carpal tunnel syndrome often results from compression of the median nerve in the wrist. However, misalignments in the neck, shoulder, elbow, or wrist can be the underlying cause. Through precise chiropractic care, we can identify the involved joint(s) and develop a customized program to address the issue, potentially avoiding the need for surgery.
Jaw (TMJ):
Stress, teeth grinding, and spinal problems can lead to TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders, causing discomfort and stiffness in the jaw. Our skilled chiropractors can restore proper nervous system control of affected muscles and ligaments, reducing pain, stiffness, clicking sounds, or a locked jaw.
Shoulder:
Many shoulder problems originate in the neck, where nerves branch from the spinal cord. Shoulder pain or radiating pain down the arm, accompanied by weakness, numbness, or tingling in the wrists or hands, can be significantly improved with chiropractic care.
Elbow:
Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) is a common repetitive strain injury. Our thorough examination followed by appropriate chiropractic care has been known to produce excellent results for individuals suffering from this condition.
Hip:
The hips and sacrum are the foundation of your spine, and issues with sacroiliac joints can affect spinal nerves. Chiropractic adjustments of the hips can yield excellent results, as hip problems can often stem from malfunctioning joints above or below the pelvis.
Ankle:
The ankle is frequently injured, and issues like pronation can lead to various foot problems. Weak arches and unstable foot positions can increase stress on the feet. Adjusting malfunctioning joints in the feet, along with custom shoe orthotics, can reduce tenderness, improve your gait, and stabilize your entire skeletal system.
