Joint Pain Relief with Dr. Kirk Hansen
Chiropractor in Lacey, WA

Joint pain in the arms or legs can interfere with almost every part of your daily life. Whether it’s stiffness in your knees, aching in your elbows, or pain in your shoulders or hips, these problems can limit your ability to move freely and comfortably. Many patients find themselves avoiding the activities they enjoy—walking, exercising, or even working—because the pain is simply too much.

​

At our office in Lacey, WA, chiropractor Dr. Kirk Hansen provides effective, drug-free care for joint pain in the arms and legs. With advanced training in chiropractic orthopedics, he carefully evaluates the source of your discomfort and develops a treatment plan that restores mobility, reduces pain, and helps you get back to living life on your terms.

​

Common Causes of Joint Pain in the Arms and Legs

​

Joint pain can develop from many sources, including:

​

• Arthritis or joint degeneration

• Tendinitis or bursitis

• Sprains, strains, or repetitive stress injuries

• Sports injuries

• Auto accidents or work-related injuries

• Misalignments in the spine affecting the extremities

• Poor posture or body mechanics

Because pain in the arms and legs is often linked to surrounding joints, muscles, or even the spine, a complete exam is essential for lasting relief.

​

How Dr. Hansen Can Help

​

Dr. Hansen begins with a thorough orthopedic and neurological exam to identify what’s causing your joint pain. Based on your evaluation, your personalized care plan may include:

​

• Gentle chiropractic adjustments to restore motion and alignment in the spine or extremities

• Targeted treatment for affected joints, muscles, and soft tissues

• Posture and ergonomic recommendations to reduce stress on your arms and legs

• Simple at-home exercises and stretches to support healing and prevent flare-ups

• Ongoing progress checks to ensure your plan remains effective

With his “catch and release” philosophy, Dr. Hansen only provides care for as long as you need it. Whether you improve after one visit, occasional adjustments, or a short series of treatments, you decide what works best for you.

If your pain persists, worsens, or is accompanied by swelling or weakness, it’s important to get evaluated. Dr. Hansen will provide a thorough exam and explain the safest treatment options.

Not necessarily. With Dr. Hansen’s “catch and release” approach, care continues only as long as you need it. You may choose to return for occasional visits to prevent future issues.
