Extremities

Extremities Care at Chiropractor Pueblo

Extremities refer to the limbs of the body, which include the arms, hands, legs, and feet. These crucial parts of our anatomy enable us to perform daily activities and enjoy a high quality of life. However, these are also susceptible to various injuries and conditions that can cause pain and limit mobility.

Common Extremities Issues

Many people experience problems with their extremities at some point in their lives.
Thus some common issues include:

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome:

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a medical condition characterized by pain, numbness, and tingling in the hand and arm. This is due to compression of the median nerve as it passes through the carpal tunnel in the wrist. Contributing factors can include repetitive hand/wrist motions, wrist injuries, pregnancy, and underlying medical conditions.

Extremities

Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis):

Tennis Elbow is a painful condition involving inflammation of the tendons that attach the forearm muscles to the lateral epicondyle of the elbow. It is typically caused by repetitive wrist and arm movements, such as tennis, tool use, or typing, and manifests as pain on the outer elbow that can radiate down the forearm.

Plantar Fasciitis:

Moreover, Plantar Fasciitis is a common cause of heel pain due to inflammation of the plantar fascia, the thick band of tissue running along the bottom of the foot. It is often associated with excessive foot stress from prolonged standing, running, or inadequate shoe support, with pain being most severe with first steps in the morning.

Knee Pain:

Furthermore, Knee pain can result from various causes, including overuse injuries, acute trauma, or degenerative conditions like osteoarthritis. Overuse injuries can occur with activities that repeatedly stress the knee, while osteoarthritis leads to gradual cartilage wear and decreased joint mobility.

Shoulder Pain:

Additionally, Shoulder pain can have multiple etiologies, such as rotator cuff injuries, frozen shoulder, and dislocations. Rotator cuff problems involve the tendons and muscles stabilizing the shoulder joint, while frozen shoulder is characterized by progressive loss of motion due to capsular tightening. Dislocations occur when the upper arm bone is forcibly displaced from the shoulder socket.
