Arm Pain

Chiropractic Care for Numbness, Tingling, Weakness & Overuse Injuries

At Active Life Chiropractic, we see many patients who come in for arm pain—only to discover the real issue is happening upstream in the neck, shoulder, or nerve pathways. Whether you’re feeling numbness and tingling down your arm, weakness in your grip, or burning discomfort that gets worse with activity or posture, we’re here to help you find lasting relief.

We take a functional, whole-body approach to arm pain by combining chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and strategic rehab to address the true source of the problem—not just the symptoms.

How We Treat Arm Pain at Active Life Chiropractic

At Active Life Chiropractic, we relieve arm pain by identifying and treating its root cause—whether it’s a stuck joint, compressed nerve, or faulty movement pattern. Our care includes precise chiropractic adjustments to the neck, upper back, shoulder, elbow, and wrist to restore alignment and improve nerve flow. We also use hands-on and tool-assisted soft tissue therapy to release tension and reduce inflammation. To support long-term recovery, we integrate functional rehab exercises, acupuncture, and nerve gliding techniques that retrain movement.

Common Arm Conditions We Treat

Arm complaints can come from many sources, which is why we do a full-body evaluation to assess nerve flow, joint function, posture, and muscular coordination.

Some of the most common arm-related conditions we treat at Active Life Chiropractic include:

  • Nerve entrapments (radial, median, or ulnar nerve)
    Causing numbness, tingling, or weakness in the forearm, wrist, or fingers.

  • Cervical radiculopathy (pinched nerve in the neck)
    Neck issues that refer pain or sensation changes into the arm or hand.

  • Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis)
    Overuse or repetitive strain injuries from gripping, lifting, or typing.

  • Golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis)
    Pain near the inside of the elbow from activities like lifting or throwing.

  • Thoracic outlet syndrome
    Compression of nerves or blood vessels between the neck and arm, leading to arm heaviness, fatigue, or numbness.

  • Pregnancy-induced carpal tunnel
    Increased swelling can place pressure on nerves as well as restrict wrist and hand range of motion

  • Postpartum nerve and tendon pain
    Often from nursing posture, baby-wearing, or wrist strain from repeated lifting.

  • Pediatric arm complaints
    Including joint hypermobility, growing pains, or sport-specific overuse.
