Conditions We Treat
Arm and Leg Pain Treatment in Silverdale, WA
Radiating, tingling, or aching limbs often start at the spine. Finding the source beats chasing the symptom.
When the problem is upstream of the pain
Every nerve that serves your arms and legs exits through the spine. Compress or irritate a nerve root in the neck and the message shows up in a shoulder, an elbow, or fingers. The same story in the low back plays out down a hip, a thigh, or a foot. The result is one of medicine's most common wild goose chases: months spent treating an elbow or a knee while the actual problem sits quietly in the spine.
Dr. Siegel's exam is built to sort this out. Reproducing your symptom with spinal testing, mapping where the tingling lives, and checking reflexes and strength tells him whether your limb pain is local, referred, or nerve-driven, and each answer gets a different treatment.
How limb pain is treated here
- A diagnostic exam that traces the symptom to its source before anything gets treated
- Gentle spinal adjusting where a nerve root is the driver
- Decompression when a disc is compressing the nerve
- Graston and cold laser for genuine local problems in the limb itself
- Referral out when findings point beyond conservative care
