The pain is in your arm. The cause is in your spine.
When pain, numbness, or tingling radiates into your arms or legs, the instinct is to focus on where it hurts. But the source is usually your spine. Nerves exit between vertebrae and travel to every part of your body. When something compresses those nerves — a disc bulge, bone spur, or misalignment — you feel it in your extremities.
Dr. Brad traces the nerve pathway to find exactly where the compression is occurring. It might be a cervical disc causing arm pain. A lumbar issue causing leg pain. Or a peripheral entrapment at the elbow, hip, or piriformis muscle. The treatment depends entirely on the source.
This is why treating arm and leg pain with medication alone rarely works long-term — it addresses the signal but ignores the source. Chiropractic addresses both.
Why chiropractic works for radiating pain.
Traces Pain to the Source
Dr. Brad follows the nerve pathway to find exactly where compression is occurring — not just where you feel the pain.
Relieves Nerve Compression
Adjustments restore alignment and reduce the pressure on compressed nerves, often resolving symptoms that medication cannot.
Restores Sensation
As nerve compression is relieved, numbness and tingling typically resolve. Many patients notice improvement within the first few visits.
Comprehensive Approach
Chiropractic adjustments, decompression for disc issues, and targeted exercises work together for complete nerve recovery.

Nerve Testing
Dr. Brad performs neurological tests — reflexes, sensation, muscle strength — to determine which nerve is involved and where it is being compressed.
Targeted Treatment
Spinal adjustments at the level of nerve compression. Decompression therapy if disc involvement is present. Peripheral mobilization if entrapment is at the extremity.
Progress Tracking
Nerve recovery takes time. Dr. Brad monitors your progress honestly and adjusts the treatment approach as your symptoms improve.
Dr. Brad treats every patient with the same philosophy: thorough diagnosis, personalized care, and real results. Your treatment plan is built around your specific condition and goals. Come when you need to. Stop when you're feeling good. You're in control of your care.
