Understanding Extremity Adjustments

Your body is a finely tuned system of receptors, nerves, and joints that constantly communicate with the brain. Just like spinal adjustments, extremity adjustments are designed to restore the connection between the brain and body, promoting optimal function and pain relief.

Extremity adjustments can be applied to nearly every joint outside of the spine, including:

• Shoulders and hips
• Knees and elbows
• Wrists and hands
• Ankles and feet
  

Even minor dysfunction in one joint can throw off balance and performance throughout the body. For athletes, professionals, and active families in Rancho Santa Fe, addressing extremities is essential to achieving long-term mobility and wellness.
