Shoulder, Arm, Wrist and Hand Pain
Pain in the shoulder, elbow, wrist or hand can come from the joint itself, the surrounding tendons, or the neck. We work out which, then treat the cause.
About Shoulder, Arm, Wrist and Hand Pain
Common problems include rotator cuff-related shoulder pain, golfer's and tennis elbow, and wrist pain from repeated gripping or impact.
Pain, pins and needles or numbness in the arm can also come from an irritated nerve in the neck, which is why we always check the neck as well.
Common signs
- Shoulder pain lifting your arm or lying on that side
- Pain on the inside or outside of the elbow when gripping
- Wrist pain with golf, racquet sports or lifting
- Pins and needles or numbness in the hand
How We Can Help
Care centres on chiropractic adjustments to the shoulder, elbow, wrist and neck to restore movement and ease pain, using extremity adjusting techniques.
We combine adjustments with a progressive strengthening program to build the tendons and muscles back up.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is golfer's elbow the same as tennis elbow?
No. Golfer's elbow affects the tendons on the inside of the elbow, and tennis elbow the outside. Both usually respond well to a graded strengthening program.
Can my neck cause arm pain?
Yes. An irritated nerve in the neck can cause pain, pins and needles or weakness in the arm and hand.
