Arm Pain Treatment in Frisco
If you’ve been dealing with arm pain, you know how quickly it disrupts everything. Sharp shooting pain, numbness and tingling, or a dull ache that makes simple tasks feel impossible. Here’s what most people don’t realize: arm pain usually isn’t starting in your arm at all.
At Venn Chiropractic and Wellness Center, we help patients discover what’s really causing their arm pain. Using precise Gonstead chiropractic adjustments and advanced spinal decompression therapy, we focus on correcting the root cause—not just masking symptoms.
Where Arm Pain Really Comes From
Most arm pain actually originates in the neck. When vertebrae become misaligned or discs bulge in your cervical spine, they compress nerves that travel down into your shoulder, arm, hand, and fingers. This condition is called cervical radiculopathy, and it can mimic carpal tunnel syndrome or tendon problems.
The usual culprits include herniated or bulging cervical discs, pinched nerves from spinal misalignments, degenerative disc disease, poor posture with forward head position, and muscle tension from stress or overuse. When you address what’s happening in your neck and upper spine, the arm pain often resolves naturally.
Signs Your Arm Pain Is Coming From Your Neck
You may be experiencing cervical nerve irritation if you notice numbness or tingling in your arm or hand, burning pain that travels down your arm, weak grip or difficulty lifting objects, pain that worsens when you move your neck, or discomfort that follows a specific line down your arm.
Many patients are surprised to learn their “arm problem” is actually a neck problem. Once we correct what’s happening at the source, that’s when real, lasting relief begins.
Why Gonstead Chiropractic Works
The Gonstead Method targets the exact vertebra causing nerve compression rather than treating your entire spine. When that pressure comes off the nerve, patients often notice reduced pain, improved mobility, restored strength, and better posture within just a few visits.
Spinal Decompression Therapy
If your arm pain is caused by a bulging or herniated cervical disc, non-surgical spinal decompression can make all the difference. This gentle therapy creates negative pressure that helps retract disc bulges away from the nerve, relieves compression, and promotes long-term healing.
When we combine decompression with Gonstead adjustments, patients get both immediate relief and lasting correction, without injections, medications, or surgery.
Your Personalized Treatment Plan
Your first visit includes a thorough evaluation with posture assessment, orthopedic and neurological testing, and digital X-rays if needed. From there, you’ll get a customized treatment plan that may include Gonstead chiropractic adjustments, spinal decompression therapy, posture correction, and strengthening exercises.
