Upper & Lower Extremity Pain & Mobility
Chiropractic care is not limited to the spine. Shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, and ankles can all lose motion and become painful, and Point Chiropractic in Bend treats those joints directly — while also checking whether the spine, hips, or a movement habit is contributing to the problem.
Central Oregon is hard on extremities. Climbing and paddling load shoulders and elbows, trail running and skiing load hips, knees, and ankles, and desk work quietly stiffens everything in between.
Extremity complaints often have a contributor further up the chain. A stiff mid back limits overhead reach; a stiff ankle changes how a knee tracks. We look at the whole pattern.

Know What To Expect
What your care may involve
Identify the driver
We examine the painful joint and the segments above and below it, because compensation is common.
Orthopedic testing
Specific tests help distinguish tendon, joint, and nerve-related contributors, and flag anything needing imaging or referral.
Restore motion
Joint work, mobilization, and soft tissue therapy address restriction and tissue tension.
Rebuild strength
Progressive loading is essential for tendon and joint complaints, so rehab is a core part of care.
Return to the activity
We build back toward the specific task that matters to you, whether that is overhead pressing or a trail descent.
Our Approach To Healing
The Point Chiropractic approach
We identify the source to relieve discomfort and restore full function, treating extremity joints directly rather than assuming every problem starts in the spine.
If a tear, fracture, or condition requiring orthopedic care is suspected, we refer promptly.

FAQ’s
Have A Question?
Do chiropractors treat shoulders, knees, and ankles?
Yes. Extremity joints are within chiropractic scope, and our care combines joint work, soft tissue therapy, and progressive rehab.
Why check my spine for a knee problem?
Movement is a chain. Limited hip or spine motion often changes how a knee is loaded, so addressing only the knee can fall short.
How long does tendon pain take to improve?
Tendons typically respond to progressive loading over weeks rather than days. We will set realistic expectations after your exam.
What if I might have a tear?
If the exam suggests a significant structural injury, we refer for imaging or an orthopedic opinion rather than treating around it.
