Arm and leg pain refers to discomfort, tingling, numbness, or weakness felt in the extremities. These symptoms can result from nerve impingement, disc problems in the spine, repetitive stress, injury, or referred pain from misalignments in the neck, back, or shoulders. Depending on the underlying cause, pain may be felt locally—such as in the wrist or elbow—or may radiate down the arm or leg. Effective treatment involves identifying the root cause, whether it's a compressed nerve, inflamed joint, or an alignment issue. Chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and targeted rehabilitation exercises aim to restore nerve flow, improve joint function, and reduce inflammation. At Body in Balance Chiropractic, each patient receives a plan tailored to the specific characteristics and triggers of their arm and leg pain, supporting a safe return to activities and prevention of recurrence.
Shoulder pain is a frequent complaint, especially among active individuals and those with jobs or hobbies that involve repetitive arm movement or extended computer use. It may manifest as a dull ache, sharp stabbing pain, restricted motion, or a sense of instability. Common causes include rotator cuff irritations, tendonitis, joint misalignments, and in many cases, referred pain from the neck due to nerve impingement or muscular tension. A holistic approach to shoulder pain includes assessing both the shoulder joint and surrounding regions, such as the neck and upper back. Chiropractic care, manual therapies, targeted rehabilitation exercises, and postural corrections can help restore function, reduce inflammation, and address root causes to promote long-term recovery. At Body in Balance Chiropractic, the aim is to relieve pain, restore comfortable range of motion, and support a safe return to everyday and recreational activities.
Neck pain can stem from muscle tension, poor ergonomics, injuries such as whiplash, arthritis, or repetitive movement habits like excessive phone or computer use. Symptoms might include stiffness, soreness, limited range of motion, or even headaches. In modern life, prolonged time at desks and screens creates added strain on the cervical spine, often leading to recurring discomfort that interrupts sleep, work, and leisure activities. Treatment focuses on restoring neck alignment, reducing muscle tension, and improving mobility. Chiropractic adjustments, manual therapies, posture education, and specific stretching exercises aim to relieve pain and prevent future flare-ups. At Body in Balance Chiropractic, care plans are personalized to the underlying cause, and may include recommendations for improving workspace setup, using ergonomic pillows, or incorporating movement breaks throughout the day to combat tech neck.
Scoliosis is an abnormal sideways curvature of the spine, most commonly first noticed in childhood or adolescence, though it can develop or progress in adults too. Signs include uneven shoulders or hips, poor posture, or clothing that fits awkwardly. While mild scoliosis may cause few symptoms, moderate to severe cases can create back pain, fatigue, muscle imbalance, and, if untreated, can lead to long-term deformity and functional limitation. At Body in Balance Chiropractic, scoliosis care includes a careful evaluation of the spinal curve, customized adjustment techniques, and supportive therapies aimed at improving spinal alignment, reducing muscle tension, and promoting balanced growth in young patients. Care plans may also include postural training, advice for backpack use, and ongoing monitoring to track progress and prevent curve progression.
Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek chiropractic care. It may present as a dull ache, sharp stabbing discomfort, or a persistent soreness in the lower, middle, or upper portions of the back. Causes range from muscle strain and overuse to injuries, degenerative disc changes, bulging or herniated discs, poor posture, or chronic conditions such as arthritis or scoliosis. Everyday activities like sitting at a desk, lifting objects improperly, or accidents can trigger or worsen back pain, often making routine tasks increasingly difficult. Treatment options include spinal adjustments, postural correction, supportive stretches and exercise, and lifestyle recommendations. Chiropractic care aims to improve spinal function and mobility, reduce inflammation, and address underlying mechanical issues, with the ultimate goal of restoring comfort and allowing for an active, unrestricted lifestyle. Care at Body in Balance Chiropractic is tailored to each individual's needs and may also include complementary therapies such as cold laser, massage, or spinal decompression to maximize results.
Headaches and migraines are among the most common and disruptive pain conditions, ranging from dull, persistent aches to sudden, intense throbbing that can last for hours or even days. Triggers can include muscle tension, poor posture, stress, dietary factors, allergies, or misalignments in the neck and upper spine. Migraines often bring additional symptoms such as nausea, sensitivity to light or sound, and can severely limit work, family, and social activities. Chiropractic care aims to address the underlying causes of headaches and migraines by improving spinal alignment, relaxing tight muscles, and reducing nerve irritation. Treatment may also include lifestyle guidance, stress management, and recommendations for identifying personal headache triggers. At Body in Balance Chiropractic, care plans are created around each patient's unique pattern and history, with the aim of restoring comfort and preventing recurrent symptoms.
