OverUse Injuries

You are probably thinking that you have to participate in extreme sports or high-impact exercises to suffer from an injury from overuse, but that is simply not true. All it takes is a repetitive motion, and you may find yourself with an overuse injury.

TENNIS ELBOW

Whether are patients are active in sports and fitness or make repetitive movements throughout the day, persistent elbow pain is an ailment we commonly treat at Somerset Hills Chiropractic. The idea of constant elbow pain might not sound too bad...that is, until it happens to you. Fortunately, chiropractic care can help.

Tennis elbow frequently gets better on its own, but the majority of those who suffer from persistent elbow pain show improvement with the use of non-surgical treatment options like chiropractic. Tennis elbow may sound like it only happens to tennis superstars, but it actually only occurs in about 5% of people who play tennis. When it comes to anatomy, the cause of tennis elbow is due to a repetitive use of the forearm extensor muscles, particularly if they haven’t been used much previously. Any occupation, sport, or household activity that calls for repeated use of the wrist and forearm may result in tennis elbow.

CARPAL TUNNEL

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is caused by pressure on the median nerve where it crosses over the wrist. That pressure can be caused by an injury or due to sustained use from common activities like hammering, chopping, pushing, or typing. Symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome include numbness, burning, tingling, weakness, wrist pain, loss of grip strength and even loss of sleep due to discomfort. If you think you may be suffering from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, we can help you get back to feeling great. Schedule an appointment with us today.
