Shoulder and Hip Pain Relief in Alaska

The shoulder and hip joints are two of the most mobile and frequently used joints in the body—and they take on a lot of wear and tear in everyday life, especially here in Alaska. Whether you're hauling gear, hiking rough terrain, working overhead, or navigating icy walkways, these joints are constantly engaged.

At Live Well Chiropractic, we regularly treat shoulder and hip injuries caused by physical work, repetitive motion, sports activity, or general overuse. When these joints are compromised, it can lead to pain, stiffness, weakness, and even loss of mobility—making it difficult to perform daily tasks or stay active.

This guide explains some of the most common causes of shoulder and hip pain and how chiropractic care at Live Well Chiropractic can help restore function, relieve discomfort, and prevent long-term joint damage—without surgery or medication.

Arm and Leg Pain Treatment in Alaska

Arm and leg pain can be frustrating—especially when it comes on without a clear cause. While aches from heavy lifting, joint overuse, or injuries like dislocations are easier to identify, unexplained or lingering pain in your limbs—especially during rest—can often signal a deeper spinal issue.

At Live Well Chiropractic, we regularly treat Alaskans experiencing arm and leg pain that actually originates in the spine. The most common culprit is a spinal misalignment or disc issue that irritates or compresses the nerves branching out to your arms and legs.

What Causes Arm and Leg Pain?

While conditions like arthritis, tendinitis, or bursitis can certainly cause joint pain, many cases of chronic or radiating pain are the result of:

  • Pinched nerves in the spine

  • Herniated or bulging discs

  • Spinal stenosis (narrowing of nerve pathways)

  • Vertebral misalignments impacting nerve flow

Because spinal nerves extend to the ends of your extremities, an injury or misalignment in your back or neck can easily produce pain, tingling, or weakness in your arms, hands, legs, or feet.

A clear example is sciatica, where irritation of the sciatic nerve leads to pain that radiates from the lower back through the hip and down the leg.

At Live Well Chiropractic, we focus on identifying and correcting the spinal root of the issue—rather than simply masking symptoms. Our chiropractic care helps restore nerve function, relieve tension, and improve mobility throughout the body.

If you're experiencing arm or leg pain without a known injury, or if it’s becoming a chronic issue, contact Live Well Chiropractic today for a thorough evaluation. Relief may be just one adjustment away.

Can Chiropractic Help with Arm and Leg Pain?

Absolutely—chiropractic care can be highly effective for arm and leg pain, especially when the root cause is a spinal misalignment. At Live Well Chiropractic, we’ve found that the majority of extremity pain originates from subluxations (misalignments) in the neck or lower back. When the spine is out of alignment, it can disrupt nerve function and irritate surrounding tissues—even if the pain shows up far from the spine itself.

Many patients are surprised to learn that the nerves controlling your arms, hands, legs, and feet originate in the spinal column. This means a problem in your cervical or lumbar spine can easily create pain, tingling, or weakness that radiates to your extremities.

By restoring proper alignment through gentle, targeted adjustments, we relieve pressure on these nerves and allow the body to heal naturally. This approach has helped many Alaskans experience significant and lasting relief—without relying on medication or surgery.
