    Spine & Extremity Care

    Whether you’re struggling with neck pain, back stiffness, or limited mobility in your joints, targeted chiropractic care can help you move freely again. At Palatine Family Chiropractic, we offer gentle, precise adjustments that support your body’s natural ability to heal without drugs or surgery.

    Relieve Pain, Restore Movement, and Reclaim Your Life

    How do we Help with Spine & Extremity Care?

    This form of chiropractic care focuses on the entire musculoskeletal system — including the spine, neck, shoulders, arms, hips, knees, and more. If a joint moves improperly or becomes misaligned, it can cause pain, inflammation, and limit your ability to function. We use gentle chiropractic adjustments to restore normal alignment and improve joint movement, helping your nervous system work the way it should.

    How does it work?

    Using hands-on techniques or specialized instruments, we apply precise pressure to targeted areas of the spine and extremities. This relieves pressure, improves joint mechanics, and reduces inflammation.

    Why does it work?

    When the spine or joints are out of alignment, it puts stress on nearby muscles and nerves. Correcting these misalignments allows your body to function better and heal faster. Many patients notice improvements in pain, posture, range of motion, and even energy levels.

    Is This Right For You?

    Spine and extremity chiropractic care may be a good fit if you:

    • Sit for long periods and struggle with back or neck stiffness
    • Feel limited in your movement or range of motion
    • Have pain in your shoulders, arms, hips, or knees
    • Experience tension headaches or nerve-related discomfort
    • Notice one side of your body feels “off” or out of balance
    • Are recovering from a fall, strain, or overuse injury
    • Want a drug-free solution for daily pain or tension

    Frequently Asked Questions

    • Will the adjustment hurt?

      No. Most patients feel relief during or shortly after the adjustment. We always start with gentle techniques, especially if you’re new to chiropractic care.

    • How long does it take to feel better?

      Everyone’s body is different. Some patients feel better after one or two visits, while others with chronic issues may need a longer plan. We’ll go over your options clearly during your evaluation.

    • Do you only treat the spine?

      Not at all. We adjust the entire musculoskeletal system — including the shoulders, arms, hips, knees, and more. Wherever there’s a joint, we can help restore function and reduce pain.

    • Is this covered by insurance?
