GETTING A HANDLE ON WRIST, ELBOW, & SHOULDER PAIN (Continued from outside)
for New& Returning Patients!
One of the biggest concerns regarding pain in the wrist, elbow and shoulder is that it is difficult to impossible to actually allow these parts of the body time to rest. Every movement and action requires these body parts — and when the pain develops in both arms, as itoftendoes, treating thepain becomes even more complicated. It is impossible to care for your basic needs without involving your shoulder or wrist, let alone get through a day at the office. This is why so many issues regarding pain inthewrists,elbowsandshoulders typically become chronic. Since it is difficult to allow these body parts time to properly rest, they continue being overused and the pain can actually worsen. Treating Shoulder, Elbow & Wrist Pain Addressing thepainearlyon is thebest way topreventan issuefrombecoming 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 tostrengthen thesurroundingmuscles while improving rangeofmotion,which together will likely alleviate some of the pain associated with your injury. Don’t assume that pain in your elbows, wrists or shoulders 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. Contact your physical therapist, today! We can help you restore proper strength and functionality to your shoulders, wrists and elbows.
