What is Extremity Adjustment?

You know that chiropractors treat issues involving the back and neck, but chiropractic is not just for the spine. Sometimes the pain you’re experiencing originates elsewhere in the body. Think about shin splints, Achilles tendonitis, TMJ pain, carpal tunnel issues, or plantar fasciitis. A certified chiropractic extremity practitioner can ease pain and reduce inflammation without surgery or drugs.Consider all the joints in your body -- jaws, shoulders, ribs, wrists, elbows, fingers, hips, ankles, knees, toes. They are all subject to the same kinds of subluxations, fixations, and irregularities that the vertebrae in your spine can have. Left untreated, not only will the symptoms remain, but they may also lead to chronic spinal problems. A chiropractor trained in extremity adjustment will adjust your spine, first, then check your extremity joints and adjust as needed.Dr. Tilyr Dunklow is the only certified chiropractic extremity practitioner in Vermont and one of only three in New England.
