Pain that travels down an arm or leg, sometimes called radiating or referred pain, is frequently caused by a nerve being pinched or irritated at its root in the spine. Arm pain often stems from issues in the neck or upper back, while leg pain is commonly linked to the lower back and conditions like sciatica. Left untreated, this type of pain can worsen and begin to interfere with daily activities, sleep, and work.
Common Causes of Arm and Leg Pain
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Pinched nerves from spinal misalignment
- Sciatica and lower back nerve compression
- Muscle strain or soft tissue injury
- Whiplash or other accident-related trauma
Our Approach to Treating Arm and Leg Pain
At Integrated Chiropractic, we start by pinpointing exactly where the nerve irritation begins, whether that’s in the neck, mid-back, or lower spine. From there, we use a combination of chiropractic instrument adjusting, myofascial release, and corrective exercises to relieve pressure on the nerve and restore proper movement. Patients with arm and leg pain often also experience numbness and tingling or low back pain, and we treat these conditions together for more complete relief.
Arm and Leg Pain From an Accident
Radiating arm and leg pain is a common outcome of car accident injuries. If your pain began after an accident, Integrated Chiropractic also supports personal injury patients with thorough documentation for insurance or legal needs while your recovery remains the primary focus.
