Chiropractic Care for Hypermobility in Denver | Gentle, Nervous System-Based Support
If your joints feel like they’re constantly auditioning for Cirque du Soleil—popping, clicking, subluxating, and giving you the “floppy noodle” experience—you might be living with a hypermobility disorder. Whether you’ve been diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS), Joint Hypermobility Syndrome, or you're just extra bendy with some aches and pains, know this: your body is not broken, it just needs the right kind of love and support.
That’s where we come in.
At our office, we take a nervous system-centered approach to chiropractic care that helps people with hypermobility feel more stable, grounded, and supported in their bodies. And we don’t stop at the spine, we integrate soft tissue therapies like Graston, cupping, and kinesiology taping to give your ligaments, fascia, and muscles a little extra structure and direction. Let’s break down how it all works:
✨ Chiropractic Care for Hypermobility: Not Just Cracking Backs
Traditional chiropractic adjustments can be too aggressive for people with hypermobility, but that’s not our jam. We focus on gentle, specific adjustments that help coordinate your nervous system, improve proprioception (your body’s sense of where it is in space), and give your muscles and joints better information to work with.
Research has shown that proprioceptive training and neuromuscular re-education are crucial in managing hypermobility disorders (Rombaut et al., 2011). That’s exactly what chiropractic care can help with—activating stabilizing muscles and calming the overactive ones so your joints aren’t constantly doing the most.
🛠️ Soft Tissue Support: Your Fascia Needs TLC Too
Chiropractic adjustments can get you instant relief, but a hypermobile body NEEDS soft tissue work to maintain the best alignment possible. And it’s one of our favorite tools in your care plan.
Graston Technique
This tool-assisted fascial work helps break up adhesions, improve blood flow, and decrease pain in overworked tissues. For hypermobile folks, muscle tightness often develops as a way to compensate for joint instability. Graston can help these muscles chill out without compromising your joint integrity.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping uses suction to lift the fascia and increase circulation. It can help decrease pain and inflammation, particularly in areas like the low back, shoulders, and hips (aka the hypermobile hotspots). Plus, it feels really dang good.
Kinesiology Taping
KT tape isn’t just for pro athletes. It’s a gentle, stretchy way to give your joints proprioceptive feedback and extra support without restricting movement. For people with hypermobility, taping can act like an external guide rail, reminding the body where the joint should be and improving stability (Ferreira et al., 2019).
While research is ongoing, many parents and some studies suggest that chiropractic care may offer several benefits for infants:
