Common Signs We Examine
- Shooting pain that follows the length of an arm or leg
- Pins‑and‑needles or numbness in hands, fingers, feet, or toes
- Grip or ankle weakness that shows up after short use
- Deep joint ache around shoulder, elbow, hip, or knee that worsens with movement
Usual causes we see every week
Your limbs may protest for many reasons, but the underlying culprits tend to fall into a short list Dr. Hogan sees every week:
- Compressed spinal nerves from herniated discs or subluxations—cervical issues radiate into arms; lumbar into legs
- Repetitive-strain fallout such as golfers/tennis elbow, IT-band or hamstring tendinopathy
- Poor biomechanics & de-conditioning that overload one joint while leaving stabilisers under-trained
- Sudden trauma (falls, awkward lifts, weekend-warrior sprints) creating micro-tears or joint irritation
- Systemic factors—dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, medication side-effects, or nutrient deficits can amplify cramps and spasms
How chiropractic care helps
- Find the trouble spot
We check posture from neck to hips. Even a small spinal kink can squeeze a nerve and send pain down an arm or leg. - Gentle adjustments
Light, targeted moves free the stuck joint so the nerve can breathe and muscles relax. No twisting or cracking surprises. - Loosen tight muscles
Hands-on muscle work or soothing cups melt knots and clear out swelling. - Relieve disc pressure (if needed)
A special traction table gently “unloads” a bulging disc so it stops pinching the nerve. - Simple take-home moves
A few easy stretches or strength drills keep everything in place between visits.
Most people feel noticeably better within a week or two. Long-standing nerve pain may need a little longer to calm down.

Frequently asked questions
Why do both my arm and leg hurt?
One irritated nerve in your spine can send pain to several places—sometimes an arm and a leg.
Can chiropractic help leg pain?
If the cause is a pinched nerve or misaligned pelvis, yes. Freeing that pressure often settles the pain without pills.
What about shoulder or elbow pain?
Freeing tight neck and shoulder joints plus a bit of muscle work usually does the trick.
Could back issues cause pain everywhere?
They can. A thorough check pinpoints which spinal level is misbehaving so we can fix it quickly.
