Pain or discomfort in the shoulders, elbows, wrists, or hands can make everyday tasks feel frustrating. Reaching overhead, typing, lifting, exercising, or even simple movements can become uncomfortable when the upper extremities aren’t moving or functioning well.
​
If you’re looking for upper extremity pain relief in Hershey, PA, you may be dealing with discomfort that hasn’t fully resolved on its own or keeps returning with daily activity.
At Quantum Family Chiropractic, Dr. Noah Frey provides personalized, one-on-one chiropractic care designed to support joint movement, reduce strain, and help the arms and shoulders function more comfortably over time.
What Upper Extremity Pain Can Feel Like
Upper extremity pain can present differently depending on the joint involved and the activities placing stress on it.
Common experiences include:
-
Shoulder pain or limited range of motion
-
Elbow discomfort or tightness
-
Wrist or hand pain during work or daily tasks
-
Reduced grip strength or coordination
-
Pain that worsens with repetitive use
-
Discomfort that affects sleep or activity
For many people, upper extremity pain develops gradually rather than from a single injury.
Why Upper Extremity Pain Happens
The arms and shoulders are involved in nearly everything we do. Repetitive movements, poor posture, and limited joint mobility can all contribute to strain over time.
Common contributors include:
-
Repetitive work or typing
-
Lifting, carrying, or overhead activity
-
Sports or exercise-related stress
-
Poor shoulder or upper back movement
-
Postural strain from desk or screen use
-
Compensation from neck or upper back issues
Because the upper extremities are closely connected to the spine and posture, discomfort in one area often affects others.
How Chiropractic Care Can Help With Upper Extremity Pain
Chiropractic care focuses on restoring healthy joint movement and reducing unnecessary strain. For upper extremity pain, this often means addressing how the shoulders, arms, spine, and nervous system work together.
At Quantum Family Chiropractic, Dr. Noah looks at:
-
Shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand movement
-
Spinal and upper back function
-
Posture and daily activity habits
-
Areas of restriction or compensation
Care is gentle, personalized, and adapted based on comfort, safety, and how your body responds over time.

What to Expect at Your First Visit
Your first visit begins with a conversation about where you feel pain, how it affects your daily life, and what activities may be contributing. Dr. Noah assesses joint and spinal movement to understand where support may be helpful.
When appropriate, chiropractic care may begin on the first visit. Everything is explained clearly, and care is always adjusted to your comfort level.
