Shoulder / Elbow / Wrist / Hand Pain

At Axis Chiropractic Clinic, we understand that shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand pain can be debilitating conditions that significantly impact your daily life. Our chiropractic care offers effective treatment options to address both the symptoms and underlying causes of these issues. Here’s how we can help:

1. Spinal Adjustments: Our chiropractors perform precise spinal manipulations to correct misalignments in the upper spine. These adjustments can help alleviate pressure on the nerves that affect the shoulders, elbows, wrists, and hands, reducing pain and discomfort.
2. Soft Tissue Therapy: We utilise techniques such as massage and myofascial release to target tight muscles and fascia in the upper extremities. This therapy helps reduce muscle tension and enhance blood flow, facilitating recovery and alleviating pain.
3. Dry Needling: This technique involves inserting thin needles into specific trigger points in the muscles to relieve pain and tension. Dry needling can be particularly effective for tight muscles around the shoulders, elbows, wrists, and hands, promoting relaxation and improving range of motion.
4. Kinesiology Taping: We may use kinesiology tape to support the shoulder, elbow, wrist, or hand. This tape helps reduce strain on muscles and joints, alleviating discomfort while allowing for greater mobility. It can also aid in the healing process by improving circulation and reducing swelling.
5. Posture and Movement Analysis: Poor posture and improper movement patterns can contribute to pain in the upper extremities. Common causes of shoulder injuries include rotator cuff tears, impingement syndrome, tendonitis, bursitis, and frozen shoulder. Our chiropractors assess your posture and movement patterns, providing tailored guidance to help you improve them, which can reduce strain on your shoulders, elbows, wrists, and hands.
6. Ergonomic Advice: We offer practical recommendations for ergonomic adjustments in your workspace or daily activities, helping to minimise strain on your upper extremities and prevent further injury.
7. Exercise and Rehabilitation: Our team creates personalised exercise programmes designed to strengthen the muscles that support your shoulders, elbows, wrists, and hands, improve flexibility, and promote better biomechanics. These exercises are crucial for your recovery and ongoing maintenance.
8. Lifestyle Modifications: Our chiropractors may suggest lifestyle changes, including stress management techniques and hydration tips, to positively impact your overall health and reduce pain in your upper extremities.
