Leg & Arm Pain

Are you experiencing leg or arm pain? While this type of pain can be the result of a number of different activities that directly involve the use of the muscles in the arms or legs, it is sometimes the result of a spinal injury. The brachial plexus is a bundle of nerves that travel from the neck down into the arms, while the lumbar plexus is comprised of nerves that extend from the lower back into the legs. The type of symptoms that one may experience from this type of injury include tingling, numbness, or pain.

Openings through the spinal column, also known as neural foramina, are where nerves exit the spinal cord and travel to the arms and legs. Therefore, if you are experiencing any type of leg or arm pain, it is important to visit a chiropractor to determine the root of the pain.

Patients who experience arm pain sometimes experience pain in their wrist or elbow, making simple tasks more difficult or impossible. Those who suffer from leg pain may also find themselves with foot , knee or ankle pain. Simply walking around can be uncomfortable, painful, or even unbearable. While it may be from torn ligaments, strains, or muscle damage in the arms or legs, it can also be originating from the spine. A chiropractor will determine the cause of the pain that you are experiencing and apply the appropriate techniques necessary to help eliminate this pain.
