Understanding Vertigo
What Causes Vertigo?
Radiating arm or leg pain is often referred from the neck or low back, where an irritated nerve root sends symptoms along its path — sciatica in the leg, or a pinched nerve in the neck causing arm and hand tingling. Joint problems in the shoulder, hip, knee or foot can also be the cause.
We test nerve function, joint movement and strength to tell the difference, because the care is very different depending on the source.
Care may combine chiropractic adjustments, registered massage, shockwave for stubborn tendons, custom orthotics for foot-driven leg pain, and athletic therapy to rebuild strength.
