Every Joint Matters.
Chiropractic care isn’t limited to your back and neck. From shoulders and wrists to hips, knees, ankles and feet, specialized extremity adjusting brings focused attention to the joints that keep you moving.
Chiropractic Is About More Than the Spine.
Your body works as a connected system. Every joint contributes to how you reach, walk, lift, work, exercise and move through everyday life.
Extremity adjusting focuses on joints outside the spine. Dr. Don Aivalotis has extensive experience in this specialized area of chiropractic care, including teaching extremity-adjusting techniques to other doctors.
Care for the Joints That Move You.
Explore the different areas where extremity-focused chiropractic care may be considered.
Shoulders
Attention to shoulder mobility, joint mechanics and movement restrictions.
Elbows
Focused evaluation of elbow and forearm discomfort, stiffness and repetitive strain.
Wrists & Hands
Specialized attention to the complex joints involved in gripping and daily tasks.
Hips
Evaluating hip mobility and its relationship to lower-body movement.
Knees
Consideration of knee motion, joint mechanics and functional movement.
Feet & Ankles
Specialized care for the joints supporting balance, walking and stability.
Wrist & Hand Adjustments.
The wrist is one of the most intricate areas of the body, with eight small carpal bones working together to support a remarkable range of movement.
Joint restriction and altered wrist mechanics may contribute to localized discomfort, stiffness or difficulty with certain movements.
Dr. Don has extensive experience evaluating and adjusting the wrist, an area frequently overlooked in traditional spine-focused chiropractic.
Numbness, tingling or weakness may also involve nerve conditions that require additional evaluation or referral.
Shoulder Adjustments.
The shoulder is designed for extraordinary mobility, but that freedom of movement also places significant demands on the surrounding joints and tissues.
Repetitive activity, physical demands, previous injuries and restricted joint motion can all influence shoulder comfort and function.
A focused assessment helps determine whether chiropractic joint care, mobility work or another approach is appropriate.
Foot & Ankle Adjustments.
Your feet and ankles form the foundation for nearly every step you take. Small restrictions in joint mobility may affect how comfortably and efficiently you move.
Extremity adjusting can include assessment of the ankle, midfoot and other joints contributing to normal foot movement.
When appropriate, care may be combined with mobility recommendations, supportive exercises or an orthotic evaluation.
Experience Meets Precision.
Not every joint needs the same technique, and not every patient needs the same amount of force.
Understand the Joint.
Review your concerns, movement, relevant history and examination findings to determine what may be contributing to the problem.
Choose the Approach.
Select appropriate low-force, instrument-assisted or other techniques according to the joint and individual circumstances.
Focus on Movement.
Address suitable joint restrictions and provide guidance that supports comfort, mobility and daily activity.
Specialized Care. Personal Attention.
