Let’s Make You Better
Adjustments not only help in restoring normal functions of a shoulder, but it reduces the stress on the neck and wrist/elbow as well.
Our providers are very well trained in the diagnosis and manipulation of the shoulder and its surrounding structures. We create our treatment plans based on each patient’s individual presentations.
Most people don’t know that the wrist and hand has 27 bones. This many moving parts allow for a variety of joint dysfunctions.
Patients are surprised at how good our wrist adjustments feel. The techniques we use are very difficult to administer properly. This is why our clinic is a popular option for non-surgical treatment of conditions such as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
If you were asked how many joints are in the elbow, what would be your answer? Most people would say just one. In fact, there are three in each elbow! Properly treating pain in the elbow is not simple. Adjusting these joints correctly requires a vast knowledge in the physiology of the upper limb combined with finesse and experience.
The hip is a ball and socket joint that allows motion in 3 different planes. All of these motions are extremely important for our daily activities.
When there is a fixation of the hip, pain is a common symptom. This lack of motion can put stress on the low back and also on the knees. Due to this lack of normal motion, gait changes are almost certain.
The foot/ankle is the basic foundation of the body. There are 28 bones that make up an astonishing 33 joints!
Diagnosing the causation of pain in the foot/ankle can be very difficult. Adjusting more than a couple of these 33 joints correctly is even more difficult for most providers.
An extremity is commonly known as a part of a limb of the body, especially the shoulders, hands and feet. Upper extremities are made up of the shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand. Lower extremities are made up of the hip, knee, ankle, and foot.
Yes, we do! We recognize that the entire body is important, not just the spine.
As humans, we use our arms and legs a tremendous amount. What if you could not bend your elbow at all? This would make it very difficult on the shoulder and your wrist/hand. However, let’s not stop there. How would that impact your neck and upper back? Imagine the crazy positions that you would have to get in just to make up for the range of motion loss in the elbow!
As doctors that work on extremities, we are taking that extra step to ensure that our patients are able to function at peak performance for their ENTIRE body, not only their spine.
Just as each piece of a puzzle is important, each extremity plays a vital role in the function of the body. All parts of the body work together. It is not just a bunch of individual parts working separately.
For example, pain in a foot may cause some degree of limping and will certainly alter your posture. This will cause direct stress on the knees and hips. If it is left untreated long enough, the problems will continue up the body and to other areas, such as the spine or even the shoulders.
When you correct one part, you are helping the function of the entire body and all of its parts.
Everything in the body is controlled by the brain. Proprioceptors in the body send signals to the brain, and the brain tells the receptors how to respond. These include the senses of position and movement of our limbs and trunk. These receptors are located in skin, muscles, and especially the joints.
For example, you can tell what something is when you touch it because of sensory receptors. But what happens when a misalignment of a joint compresses a nerve? We will get pain, numbness, or even tingling. This will change how our body is capable of responding to and interpreting information. (Imagine numbness in your fingers and trying to feel your way around in the dark!)
By correcting problems in all joints, not just the spine, we help the body stay at its’ peak performance.
We can adjust just that area, but we wouldn’t stop there. Like we mentioned before, the body is a whole system that works together. A patient that says they have wrist pain might have a shoulder or elbow issue that is causing the pain in the wrist as well. (We see this a lot!)
Most providers focus only on an area that has pain. We take it a step further and look for other areas in the body that may be involved as well.
In short, yes, we can simply adjust your ankle if that is what your complaint is about. However, considering that we strive to excel in our practice, we would address all areas with possible involvement.
The goal of adjusting extremities is to restore the body/brain connection which allows it to have normal and proper function.

Diana Duque2022-10-07I highly recommend Dr. Michael Savignano, I was in extreme pain for days with shoulder and back pain. He was able to get me in his office right away, I was seeing pretty fast considering I did not have an appointment scheduled and was considered a walk in appointment. He took his time with me, gave me back alignment, had me sit on one of his wonderful machines. I left the office with barely any pain, feeling great and was able to get back to a high productive day, all thanks to him!!! When you are a business owners and you can't afford to miss work, this was the best treatment I have ever received.
