JOINT & EXTREMITY PAIN 

Chiropractors don't just treat backs. We assess and manage joints throughout the entire body, including shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, ankles and feet.

A shoulder that won't reach behind your back. A knee that aches every time you climb stairs. A hip that stiffens after sitting. A heel that hurts with the first steps of the morning. These are the kinds of complaints we see every day at our Sandton practice.

When a joint loses its normal range of motion, whether from injury, repetitive strain or gradual wear, the surrounding muscles, tendons and ligaments start compensating. That's often where the pain and stiffness really take hold.

Systematic reviews support manual therapy combined with exercise for a wide range of extremity conditions, from rotator cuff injuries and knee osteoarthritis to tennis elbow, carpal tunnel syndrome and plantar fasciitis. We use orthopaedic and functional tests to pinpoint the cause, and if imaging is needed, we can refer you for X-rays, ultrasound or MRI.

Treatment combines joint mobilisation, soft tissue therapy, dry needling and individually tailored rehab exercises, all aimed at restoring normal joint mechanics and addressing the root cause.
