Arm And Leg Pain Ottawa: Find Relief With Physiotherapy
Millions of people experience arm and leg pain each year.
Our arms and legs are the most mobile and frequently used parts of our body. This frequency and mobility often lead to various injuries and sources of pain. Our expert physiotherapists and chiropractors in Ottawa can help you find out the exact cause of your pain and seek treatment.
Common Causes of Arm and Leg Pain
From overuse to sports injuries, the causes are many, and the results range from slight discomfort to complete immobilization. Once your chiropractor and/ or physiotherapist find the underlying cause, they will come up with an action plan for treatment.
Referred Pain
Sometimes another issue in your body is sending pain signals in your arms or legs. A common example of it is a pain in the left arm as an early sign of a heart attack. Similarly, inflamed gallbladders can cause shoulder pain.
Vertebral Subluxations
It is the misalignment, or dislocation, of the bones of the spine. When bones are misaligned, the surrounding tissues and nerves become irritated and unable to move normally. This causes pain in the arms, legs, and lower back.
Arthritis
Osteoarthritis results from the wearing away of the protective cushion in between your bones. The condition develops during middle age and results in a lack of motion and constant pain in the joints.
Bursitis
It is painful swelling around the joints in your shoulders, elbows, knees, and feet. This condition results when you put too much pressure on the bursae, the small fluid-filled sacks that cushion between bones and muscles. Bursitis results from repetitive motion and poor posture.
Tendonitis
It is the inflammation of connective tissues between muscles and bones. It causes joint pain, stiffness, and a limited range of motion in the arms and legs. It occurs most commonly in the shoulder, biceps, elbow, hand, wrist, thumb, calf, knee, or ankle.
Frozen Shoulder
This condition is caused by inflammation of the shoulder capsule. The patient may experience severe pain, which results in stiffness and a gradual loss of motion.

Custom Tailored Treatment Plan
You might not think about how often you move your arms and legs until they start to give you pain. Your arms and legs are the most mobile joints in the body and are subject to a wide range of injuries and conditions.
- Our treatment plans are based on evidence-informed studies, and our diagnoses are accurate due to our thorough medical examination. Accurate diagnoses, when communicated early, always yield faster recovery and better prognosis.
- We recommend chiropractic care when you are faced with a new head and neck trauma since acute injuries respond faster with hands-on manual care. Chronic injuries often require physiotherapy to recorrect abnormal patterns.
- Target the pain first with chiropractic and then minimize the risk for future re-injury and correct underlying abnormal movement patterns through physiotherapy care.

Leg & Arm Pain FAQs
Arm and leg pain is often caused by “referred pain.” It is a condition in which pain in one area moves to another part of the body.
Try to rest your leg as much as possible. Elevate your leg with pillows. Sometimes compression socks can also help relieve pain. You can also try taking an over-the-counter medicine like aspirin or ibuprofen.
The treatment varies according to the cause of the pain. Some of the most common treatments for leg pain are ice therapy, ultrasound, and trigger point therapy.
