Elbow, shoulder, knee, foot and wrist pain

Chiropractic care is not only for the spine. We also treat the joints of the arms and legs, often alongside the spine and posture problems that contribute to them.

Common problems we see

  • Tennis or golfer’s elbow
  • Shoulder pain, rotator cuff problems and frozen shoulder
  • Knee pain from running, stairs or wear
  • Plantar fasciitis and heel pain, flat feet
  • Wrist pain from typing, phones or lifting

How we help

We assess the painful joint and the areas above and below it. Care may include extremity adjustments and mobilisation, soft-tissue therapy, taping, and a strengthening plan. We also look at footwear, keyboard and mouse set-up, or training load when relevant.

How long recovery takes

Tendon and joint problems often need several weeks of steady loading to settle. Frozen shoulder can take months, and our aim is to keep you moving comfortably through it.

Your first visit

Your first consultation takes about 25 to 30 minutes and costs $180 before GST. We listen to your history, examine you, explain what we find and what we recommend, and you decide whether to start care. No referral is needed, and insurance claims are supported.

When to see a doctor urgently

Please see a medical doctor or go to A&E (or call 995 in an emergency) if you have:

  • A joint that is hot, red and swollen, especially with fever
  • Severe pain or deformity after an injury
  • Sudden loss of strength in the arm or leg

Frequently asked questions

Do chiropractors treat knees and shoulders?

Yes. Our doctors are trained in extremity techniques for the shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, ankles and feet.

What helps plantar fasciitis?

Calf and foot stretching, gradual strengthening, supportive footwear and soft-tissue work help many people. We tailor a plan to you.

Can typing cause wrist pain?

Yes. Wrist position, keyboard height and long sessions without breaks all contribute. Small set-up changes often help.
