Joint Pain Relief Colorado Springs
Any joint can get misaligned or “stuck,” creating problems for the body. Motion is what the body, brain and nervous system thrive off of, and any time that motion is impaired, pain and other symptoms can result.
Just like joints in the spine, the joints of your extremities can become subluxated or misaligned. Although joint problems in the extremities are common with athletes, people of all walks of life can experience joint pain. At Freedom Chiropractic, we work on any joint in your body that isn’t functioning as it should, whether that’s in your arms, legs or spine.

Our Comprehensive Approach
Part of our approach is to restore proper alignment and motion to the joint itself through chiropractic adjustments. The second part is to re-educate the muscles through customized strengthening and stretching protocols so we can fully rehab the entire joint issue so it doesn’t keep getting worse over time.
Of course, we begin with a thorough consultation and examination, which includes much more than just the area where you are experiencing pain or decreased motion. For example, if you’re having problems with your shoulder, we will assess the spine, the nerve flow to the shoulder and the kinetic chain that runs from your neck, shoulder, elbow and on into your wrist. That’s because any of those areas could be contributing to the pain in your shoulder—or any of those areas may be taking extra abuse by compensating to make up for what your shoulder is unable to do.
Customized Care Plans
No two joint issues are identical, and neither are our care plans. We will tailor your chiropractic adjustments and rehab protocols to your specific situation. Depending on the circumstances, we might also recommend ice, moist heat, stretching and/or strengthening.
A Patient Success Story
OK, this might be a long review so settle in! 😎 I started going to Freedom Chiropractic a few months ago for an issue in my knee and I’m so glad I did! A little backstory…I had seen my primary care physician multiple times last year for grinding in my left knee. X-rays showed my kneecap was out of alignment and so the doctor ordered three months of physical therapy. After almost 4 months of consistent physical therapy, my knee had not improved at all. I was then told I could get steroid injections into my knee or go under the knife to surgically move my kneecap back in place. Neither option sounded appealing or necessary, so I continued my PT exercises at home until a friend recommended talking with the docs at Freedom Chiropractic.
I honestly was skeptical at first because I assumed going to a chiropractor only meant adjusting your neck and spine, but after their thorough assessment we realized I did have an alignment issue in my hips that was affecting my knee and subsequently my ankle. So I began their treatment plan and I’m so happy to say that a few months later I’m doing so much better! I’m grateful for the friend who recommended them and so grateful for the Freedom Chiropractic team! The knee issue isn’t completely gone but it’s much improved and I’m hopeful that it will only continue to improve!
