Arm Pain And Chiropractic

Friday, December 24th, 2010

New York tennis elbow also known as Lateral Epicondylitis is the #1 ailment of the upper body.

But tennis elbow is not unique to tennis players only. When immense strain is placed on the muscles of the forearm (wrist extensor group), it can cause tennis elbow. Hence, this ailment is often seen in tennis players, carpenters, secretaries, manual laborers and a host of other jobs. So any activity which requires repetitive wrist extension is intrinsically what causes tennis elbow, according to Dr. Jay Handt and Dr. Josh Handt. In 90% of tennis elbow conditions, pain is localized in the tendo periosteal junction where the common extensor tendon originates (outer area of the elbow). Other symptoms of tennis elbow include radiating pain to the back of the forearm and wrist area; some patients may have this.

The problem with NY tennis elbow is that it takes a long time to heal due to the lack of a tendon sheath. The common extensor origin resembles a muscle more than a tendon, but its blood supply is not adequate and thus, it cannot get nutrition from the fluid that is found within a tendon sheath.

Your Chiropractor at New York City (NYC) Chiropractic is a licensed professional who will conduct a comprehensive history-taking and examination, to include neurological and orthopaedic testing, to discover the level of your tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis). With the findings, they will develop a custom plan of management just for your case.

Patients visiting New York City (NYC) Chiropractic with front or back lower leg pain that appears slowly and unnoticed may have shin splints. Shin splints are poorly defined. There are many conditions (tendonitis, periostitis, muscle strain and Interosseous membrane strain) that have been implicated as the cause of shin splints.

There are basically two types of shin splints in New York: 1. Anterior shin splints – are so-called when the muscles at the front of the leg which are used for shock absorption, are affected. Constant and prolonged overuse of these muscles in instances such as walking or running on hard surfaces or wearing shoes that do not have shock absorbers shifts the force to the shin bone. A shin splint then develops. 2. Posterior shin splints – refer to the ailment that involves the muscles at the back of the leg. Acting as ankle stabilizers, they can be strained when the patient does excessive pronation.

The following symptoms are characteristic of a muscle strain: stiffness, localized pain, a bruised feeling. A number of times, a knot appears in the muscle when there muscle strain. This area of the knot is then called the tender point, says Dr. Jay Handt and Dr. Josh Handt.
