HealthActions: Shoulder, Elbow, & Wrist Pain

Get A Handle on Shoulder, Elbow & Wrist Pain

4th Annual Ruff Run

One of the biggest concerns regarding pain in the shoulder, elbow and wrist is that it is almost impossible to actually allow these parts of the body time to rest. Everymovement and action requires these body parts — and when the pain develops in both arms, as it often does, treating the pain 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 in the shoulder, elbows and wrists 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 and Wrist Pain.
