Arm pain can significantly impact daily activities, whether you’re lifting objects, working at a desk, or simply moving your arm. Arm pain can stem from a variety of causes, including injuries, repetitive stress, or underlying medical conditions. At Balance Atlanta, we provide comprehensive arm pain treatment using chiropractic care, functional medicine, and advanced therapeutic modalities. Our goal is to not only alleviate your symptoms but also address the root causes of your discomfort to prevent future issues.
Arm pain can arise from several conditions affecting muscles, tendons, nerves, or joints. Here are some of the most common causes:
Chiropractic care has been shown to be highly effective in treating arm pain, particularly when the pain stems from musculoskeletal issues like nerve compression, joint misalignment, or overuse injuries. According to studies, chiropractic care can significantly reduce pain and improve mobility for those dealing with upper extremity issues. In fact, a study published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics found that patients with arm pain experienced significant relief after chiropractic adjustments. Another study noted that chiropractic treatment for extremity injuries showed improvement in over 80% of cases.
By focusing on spinal health, chiropractors can correct misalignments that may be contributing to nerve compression or muscle tension, helping alleviate arm pain at its source. Chiropractic adjustments can reduce inflammation, restore joint mobility, and improve circulation, all of which contribute to faster recovery and long-term relief.
Golfer’s elbow, also known as medial epicondylitis, occurs when the tendons on the inside of the elbow become inflamed due to overuse. This condition is common among golfers, but it can also affect individuals who perform repetitive gripping motions, such as lifting or typing. Symptoms include pain and tenderness on the inner side of the elbow, which may radiate down the forearm. At Balance Atlanta, we provide chiropractic adjustments to help relieve pressure on the elbow joint and surrounding muscles. Our treatment plan also includes therapies such as soft tissue massage, stretches, and functional medicine to promote healing and prevent recurrence.
Tennis elbow, or lateral epicondylitis, affects the tendons on the outside of the elbow, causing pain and inflammation. Like golfer’s elbow, this condition is not limited to tennis players; it often affects people who engage in repetitive motions, such as lifting, painting, or playing other racquet sports. Tennis elbow can cause significant discomfort and limit your range of motion. Our chiropractors target the root cause of tennis elbow by addressing misalignments in the spine and joints, improving blood flow to the affected area, and promoting faster healing through modalities like therapeutic exercises and laser therapy.
Sports injuries, whether acute or from overuse, are a common cause of arm pain. Athletes from various sports—such as baseball, swimming, and weightlifting—are prone to shoulder strains, tendonitis, and joint injuries. Chiropractic care helps athletes recover faster from these injuries by restoring joint alignment, reducing inflammation, and improving range of motion. Balance Atlanta offers specialized treatment plans that incorporate chiropractic adjustments, muscle therapy, and neurofeedback to help athletes recover and optimize their performance.
At Balance Atlanta, we take a holistic and personalized approach to arm pain treatment, combining traditional chiropractic care with modern technology and integrative therapies. Here’s how we approach your treatment:
Misalignments in the spine and joints can place unnecessary pressure on nerves and muscles, leading to pain. Our chiropractic adjustments realign your spine and joints, reducing pressure and improving mobility.
We use soft tissue techniques such as massage and myofascial release to relax tight muscles and reduce inflammation in the affected arm.
Our functional medicine approach assesses your overall health, nutrition, and lifestyle to create a comprehensive plan that supports your body’s natural healing process.
Dr. Caroline uses advanced therapies like Class IV Laser and Shockwave, commonly utilized by professional sports teams, to improve knee joint mobility and reduce inflammation. These treatments enhance blood circulation, accelerate tissue healing, and break down adhesions, helping patients regain function and relieve pain effectively.
For patients dealing with chronic pain or neurological issues, we use BrainCore neurofeedback therapy to retrain the brain and improve overall function. This therapy can be particularly beneficial for patients experiencing nerve pain or conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome.
Our team designs custom rehabilitation exercises to help strengthen the muscles around the affected joint, improve flexibility, and prevent future injuries.
At Balance Atlanta, we believe in treating the root cause of your arm pain, not just the symptoms. By combining chiropractic care with cutting-edge technology and functional medicine, we provide a comprehensive and effective treatment plan tailored to your needs. Our experienced team is dedicated to helping you recover faster, improve your mobility, and prevent future pain.

Arm pain can stem from a variety of sources, including muscle strain, nerve irritation, joint problems, or
referred pain from the neck and shoulder. Repetitive movements, poor posture, or injuries may also
contribute to the condition. In some cases, arm pain originates from spinal misalignments in the neck
that irritate nerves and cause pain to radiate down the arm. Understanding whether the pain is
muscular, joint-related, or nerve-based is essential for proper care. Chiropractors often assess both the
arm and the spine, since issues higher up in the neck frequently contribute to arm discomfort.
The nerves that control sensation and movement in the arm originate in the cervical spine. When
vertebrae in the neck are misaligned, or when a disc places pressure on a nerve, pain can radiate into
the shoulder, elbow, or hand. Tingling, numbness, or weakness may accompany this type of nerve
irritation, known as “cervical radiculopathy.” Chiropractic adjustments aim to restore proper alignment
and reduce pressure on irritated nerves. By easing tension in the neck and improving spinal health,
chiropractic care often helps reduce radiating arm pain and restore normal function.
Sitting at a desk, leaning forward over a computer, or constantly looking down at a phone can round the
shoulders and push the head forward. This posture strains the muscles of the neck and upper back,
putting added pressure on the nerves that travel into the arms. Over time, this may cause pain, tingling,
or weakness in one or both arms. Chiropractors address posture through adjustments, targeted
stretches, and ergonomic advice. Correcting posture reduces the stress placed on the spine and helps
prevent recurring arm pain linked to daily habits.
Chiropractic care begins with a thorough evaluation of the spine, shoulders, and arms to determine the
source of pain. Adjustments are often used to improve alignment in the neck and upper back, reducing
nerve irritation that radiates into the arm. Soft tissue therapy, exercises, and stretches may also be
recommended to relieve muscle tension and strengthen supportive structures. Care is personalized,
aiming not only to reduce pain but also to restore range of motion and prevent flare-ups. This
whole-body approach often provides relief for patients dealing with chronic or recurring arm pain.
Nerve pain in the arm often feels different from muscle soreness. It may cause sharp, shooting
sensations, tingling, numbness, or weakness in the arm or hand. These symptoms suggest the nerves
in the neck or shoulder region may be compressed or irritated. A chiropractor can perform orthopedic
and neurological tests to determine whether spinal misalignments or disc problems are contributing to
nerve irritation. Addressing the root cause through spinal adjustments and posture correction can help
reduce pressure on nerves, allowing the arm to heal and function normally again.
Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve in the wrist is compressed, often due to
repetitive strain or posture issues. However, nerve irritation may also begin higher up in the neck or
shoulder and contribute to wrist pain. Chiropractors assess the entire pathway of the nerve, from the
spine to the wrist, to identify contributing factors. Adjustments to the neck, wrist, or elbow, combined
with stretches and ergonomic advice, can relieve pressure and support healing. This broader approach
may reduce arm and hand pain associated with carpal tunnel syndrome.
Repetitive movements, poor posture, carrying heavy bags, or long hours at a desk can all strain the
muscles and joints of the arm. Over time, these habits may lead to inflammation, nerve irritation, or joint
stress. Stress also plays a role, as tense shoulders and neck muscles often radiate discomfort into the
arms. Chiropractors usually guide patients in making simple lifestyle adjustments—such as improving
workstation ergonomics, stretching regularly, and practicing better posture. These changes, combined
with chiropractic adjustments, help prevent recurring arm pain and support long-term spinal and
muscular health.
Chiropractic care is non-invasive and tailored to each person’s needs. For arm pain, chiropractors
carefully evaluate the source of the problem before selecting the most suitable techniques. Gentle
adjustments, soft tissue work, and exercises are commonly used to restore function without
unnecessary force. Safety and comfort are always prioritized, especially for individuals with sensitive
nerves or long-standing pain. Many patients find chiropractic care to be an effective option for reducing
arm discomfort while improving mobility and posture. When nerve irritation is involved, careful
adjustments can ease pressure and support natural healing.
Improvement depends on the cause and severity of the arm pain. Some people notice relief after the
first few adjustments, while others require several weeks of consistent care. Chronic pain or nerve
irritation may take longer to resolve, as healing involves reducing inflammation and retraining muscles
to support proper posture. Chiropractors often recommend combining adjustments with home exercises
and lifestyle changes for faster results. The goal is not only short-term pain relief but also long-term
stability, so that arm pain does not return with daily activities or repetitive movements.
Occasional soreness from exercise or activity is normal, but pain that lingers, worsens, or includes
numbness and weakness should be evaluated. Arm pain that comes with chest pain or shortness of
breath should be treated as an emergency, since it could signal a heart problem. For persistent pain
associated with posture, nerve irritation, or spinal misalignment, chiropractic care provides a safe and
effective way to address the underlying cause. A thorough evaluation helps determine whether the pain
is structural, muscular, or neurological, ensuring that the proper care is provided for lasting relief.
