Extremity chiropractic care focuses on diagnosing and treating joint and soft tissue problems in the arms, legs, shoulders, elbows, wrists, knees, hips, and ankles. At Indian Trail Chiropractic & Rehab, Dr. Gentile combines precise extremity adjustments with comprehensive chiropractic care to relieve pain, restore joint mobility, and improve overall function. This specialized service addresses injuries, chronic pain, and movement limitations caused by misaligned joints or biomechanical imbalances.
What Is Extremity Chiropractic?
Extremity chiropractic care involves manual or instrument-assisted adjustments targeting joints outside the spine—such as the shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, and ankles. These adjustments restore proper alignment and movement, reduce inflammation, and relieve nerve irritation caused by joint dysfunction. The goal is to improve joint function, increase range of motion, and reduce pain for better physical performance and daily function.
Dr. Gentile uses a thorough assessment of joint mechanics and soft tissue health to develop personalized treatment plans incorporating extremity adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and rehabilitative exercises. This approach supports natural healing and prevents future injuries by optimizing joint biomechanics.

What Conditions Does Extremity Chiropractic Treat?
Extremity chiropractic addresses a broad spectrum of joint conditions — from tendinitis, bursitis, and arthritis to Tennis Elbow, Golfer’s Elbow, carpal tunnel, wrist pain, knee pain, and meniscus injuries. Many of these conditions are closely linked to joint pain and arthritis that worsens over time when underlying joint misalignment is left uncorrected. For patients whose extremity conditions are accompanied by soft tissue damage, Active Release Technique is integrated to release the adhesions and fascial restrictions that compound joint dysfunction and slow recovery.
Tendinitis and Bursitis: Relieves inflammation and restores joint function.
Arthritis: Reduces pain and improves mobility in affected joints.
