At the chiropractic practice of Dr. Anthony Scarpello in Secaucus, New Jersey, we help patients find relief from joint subluxations and their associated symptoms. Whether you’re dealing with spinal discomfort or issues in other joints, our personalized care is designed to restore mobility, relieve pain, and improve your overall quality of life.
What is a Joint Subluxation?
A joint subluxation occurs when a joint is partially dislocated, meaning the bones of the joint are no longer properly aligned but remain in contact. This misalignment can disrupt joint function, but stress on surrounding muscles and ligaments, and irritate nearby nerves. Subluxations are commonly found in the spine but can also occur in other joints, such as the shoulders, hips, or knees.
Common Symptoms of Joint Subluxations
Symptoms of joint subluxations can vary depending on the location and severity, but they often include:
- Pain in the affected joint.
- Decreased range of motion.
- Muscle stiffness or weakness.
- Tingling, numbness, or radiating pain caused by nerve irritation.
- Inflammation around the joint.
If left untreated, subluxations can lead to chronic pain, joint instability, and reduced function, making early intervention key to preventing long-term complications.
How We Can Help: Treatment Options for Joint Subluxations
Dr. Scarpello’s practice offers a variety of non-invasive treatments for subluxations, helping patients regain proper joint alignment and reduce their symptoms.
1. Spinal and Extremity Adjustments Chiropractic adjustments are our best method of correcting subluxations. Using gentle, precise applications of force, Dr. Scarpello realigns joints, restoring their natural position and function. This process relieves pressure on nerves, reduces inflammation, and improves mobility, allowing your musculoskeletal system to function more efficiently.
2. Ultrasound Therapy Ultrasound therapy uses sound waves to stimulate deep tissues, improving blood flow and reducing inflammation in the affected area. This therapy promotes faster healing, reduces pain, and alleviates muscle tension around the subluxated joint. It’s a safe, non-invasive way to support recovery.
3. Electric Muscle Stimulation (EMS) Electric muscle stimulation is another way to soothe muscles surrounding a subluxated joint. EMS uses gentle electrical impulses to contract and relax muscles, reducing spasms, relieving pain, and encouraging the release of endorphins. It also improves circulation, which supports tissue repair and decreases swelling.
4. Rehabilitative Exercises Rehabilitative exercises are an essential part of long-term recovery. These exercises strengthen the muscles supporting the subluxated joint, improve flexibility, and restore proper movement patterns. Dr. Scarpello develops personalized exercise plans for your rehabilitative needs and fitness level to help prevent future subluxations and keep your joints healthy.
