Treating Your Shoulder, Elbow & Wrist Pain
Addressing the pain early on is the best way to prevent an issue from becoming chronic. Turning to medication and braces for pain management is not a long-term solution and will only push off the inevitable truth — that you need to find a solution for the problem that is causing you pain. Physical therapy is the ideal tool for support in this regard. Working with a physical therapist will provide you with an opportunity to understand what movements may be causing further discomfort, and can help you to strengthen the surrounding muscles while improving range of motion, which together will likely alleviate some of the pain associated with your injury. Don’t assume that pain in your shoulders, elbows or wrists will go away on its own. It is more common for the pain to worsen, and compensating for the pain by overusing the opposite arm can cause further injury to develop. For support with learning how to manage the pain, and to learn exercises and techniques that can help you overcome the injury and restore proper strength and functionality to your shoulders, elbows and wrists, contact your physical therapist. If you are suffering with shoulder, elbow, or wrist pain, call us today to learn more about how we can relieve your pain, returning you to a more active, pain-free life!
Ciara Rosato, Care Coordinator STAFF SPOTLIGHT
Ciara grew up in Canandaigua where she was known for her athleticism in soccer and track. She took her personal drive for success to Liberty University in Virginia where she received her bachelor’s degree in Communications. After moving back to the area, she met her husband, Sam, while playing on their church softball team - she had never played softball before then.
“Challenge yourself. Life is about taking healthy steps to grow on a personal, spiritual and professional level. Taking the leap to play softball for the first time sure worked out in my favor, just like making the decision to care for your body will work out for you!” After living in the beautiful north country for three years, family brought her and her husband back to the Rochester area once again. She enjoys helping others and seeing growth in all aspects of the lives of the people around her, which is why we entrust her with our customer service and marketing initiatives.
