Adjusting the Extremities

Knee pain, tennis elbow, carpal tunnel syndrome or knee or ankle problems??


Looking for a “chiropractor in Oviedo, FL?” Dr. Ressler, Oviedo chiropractor qualifications include adjusting the extremities (Ex. shoulders, elbows, wrists, knees, legs, hips, and ankles) Many patients that visit Oviedo Injury and Wellness Center complain of extremity pain. “Extremity pain” refers to pain that is in your shoulders, elbows, wrists, knees, legs, hips and ankles. Extremities just like the neck and back can also be injured in a sports, work or auto related accident. When a joint is out of correct position, pain occurs it will lose range of motion. If not treated properly, the joint can have uneven pressure on certain parts and wear them out faster than normal. This immobility will cause the joint to break down over time causing long term or even permanent damage. Symptoms of a misaligned joint include, but are not limited to weakness, pain, stiffness, immobility, numbness, and tingling. Dr. Ressler, Oviedo chiropractor uses the activator method to move the joint in your wrists, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, and ankles back into correct position. Thus, allowing the joint to have full range of motion.


Have you ever had pain in one area then experience pain in another region? Think of it this way, when one part of your body is injured, the other parts of your body will compensate. This compensation puts strain and extra pressure on the other surrounding muscles and joints, leading to pain in other areas of the body. Let’s say you have injured your low back; pain then causes the person to have knee or ankle pain. This is because you may begin to shift your weight to the other side in order not to put pressure on the injured side. This is the body’s natural, but temporary solution. Without proper care your body may maintain this improper position, causing long term issues. It is imperative that your body can return to a normal and level position as soon as possible. That is why it is so important to receive care early rather than waiting weeks for issues to improve.

Issues like carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis elbow, shoulder pain, knee or ankle pain are problems that extremity adjusting is highly effective. These types of injuries respond quickly to treatment and pain relief after the first treatment. During your comprehensive visit at Oviedo Injury and Wellness Center, Dr. Ressler will evaluate your spine and extremities for any joint restrictions. He understands the importance of treating the entire body, not just the spine.  Whether it is a chronic issue or a recent injury, he can create a customized plan to alleviate the pain in the injured region. In instances of referred pain, you may feel pain in your wrist that actually may be caused from a misalignment in your elbow. Dr. Ressler, your Oviedo chiropractor has extensive training and will treat the source of your pain as well as other areas of compensation.


Dr. Ressler, Oviedo chiropractor uses a special tool called an “Activator” to gently move the joints in your extremities. The Activator is a spring-loaded device that sends a gentle force to move the joint back in place. Unlike a manual chiropractic adjustment, the activator is very precise, only moves the joints that are being adjusted. This minimizes or eliminates soreness or discomfort after an adjustment. This makes the activator method ideal for adjusting the extremities.
