Arm & Leg Pain Treatment in Pompano Beach
Arm or leg pain can make everyday movement feel unpredictable. Some patients feel aching, tingling, or weakness that travels from the neck or back into the arms or legs. Others notice pain that comes and goes without a clear injury. When pain affects the limbs, it often raises questions about nerves, circulation, or joint health.
At Graceful Pompano Beach Chiropractic, care focuses on understanding how the spine, nervous system, and limbs work together. As Dr. Michael Cohen explains, many arm and leg symptoms happen when spinal joints and nerves are not communicating properly, even if the pain shows up far from the spine.
Your first visit is about listening, evaluating carefully, and explaining what your symptoms mean in a clear, calm way.
Common Causes of Arm and Leg Pain
Arm and leg pain often originates from areas other than where symptoms are felt. Common causes include:
- Nerve irritation from the neck or lower back, which can cause pain, tingling, or weakness to travel along the arms or legs.
- Joint restriction in the spine that alters how nerves send signals to the limbs.
- Muscle tightness or imbalance that places uneven stress on joints and nerves.
- Disc irritation that reduces space around nerve roots.
- Postural stress from prolonged sitting, repetitive movements, or poor ergonomics.
- Previous injuries or overuse that the body has compensated for over time.
In many cases, arm or leg pain is linked to nerve pathways that begin in the spine, even when the discomfort feels localized.
Benefits of Chiropractic Arm & Leg Pain Treatment
Chiropractic care focuses on restoring movement and reducing mechanical stress on nerves and joints rather than masking symptoms. Benefits may include:
- Reduced nerve irritation, which can calm tingling, burning, or radiating pain.
- Improved spinal and joint mobility to support smoother, more balanced movement.
- Better coordination between the spine and limbs, helping the body move as a unit.
- Reduced muscle tension that often builds around irritated nerves.
- Improved posture and movement patterns that lower future strain.
- Support for long-term nerve health through consistent, conservative care.
Care is always adapted to your comfort level and symptom severity, with a focus on safe, gentle progress.
How Arm and Leg Pain Is Diagnosed
At Graceful Pompano Beach Chiropractic, diagnosis begins with a detailed evaluation of how your spine and limbs function together. Dr. Cohen emphasizes understanding where pain starts, where it travels, and what movements influence it. Your assessment may include:
- Review of symptom history and daily activities to identify patterns and triggers.
- Postural assessment to see how alignment affects nerve pathways.
- Range of motion testing to evaluate joint movement and restriction.
- Neurological screening to assess nerve involvement.
- Muscle strength evaluation to compare function side to side.
- Joint mobility assessment to locate areas of mechanical stress.
- Imaging when appropriate to better understand structural factors.
Findings are explained clearly so you understand the source of your symptoms and the next steps.

Changes in symptom patterns often provide important diagnostic clues.
Can chiropractic help shoulder impingement or bursitis?
Yes. Shoulder impingement or bursitis often involves joint mechanics and nerve stress that chiropractic care can evaluate and support through conservative treatment.
Why do both my arm and leg hurt?
When nerves are irritated at the spine, symptoms can appear in multiple areas along the same nerve pathways, even if the pain feels unrelated.
Is arm or leg pain always related to a nerve problem
Not always. Arm and leg pain can also come from muscle strain, joint restriction, or movement imbalance. A proper evaluation helps determine what structures are involved.
When should arm or leg pain be evaluated by a professional
You should seek evaluation if pain persists, worsens, travels into the hands or feet, causes numbness or weakness, or interferes with daily activities or sleep.
