Upper extremity pain is one of the most common reasons people seek chiropractic care. Whether the discomfort affects your shoulders, elbows, wrists, or hands, upper extremity pain can significantly impact your ability to perform daily tasks and enjoy an active lifestyle.
We address the root causes of discomfort to restore your mobility and improve your overall function.
Types of Upper Extremity Conditions
01
Acute Upper Extremity Pain
Typically occurs suddenly, often due to an injury, such as lifting a heavy object incorrectly, a fall, or a sudden twisting motion. This type of pain is usually sharp.
02
Subacute Upper Extremity Pain
Lingering discomfort and stiffness that lasts for several weeks, often limiting your range of motion and daily activities.
03
Chronic Upper Extremity Pain
Long-term pain affecting your quality of life, often caused by repetitive stress, overuse injuries, or underlying conditions like arthritis.
Common Causes of Upper Extremity Pain
Identifying the underlying cause of upper extremity pain is the first step toward creating an effective treatment plan.
Muscle or Ligament Strain
Lifting heavy objects or poor posture can strain muscles, leading to stiffness.
Rotator Cuff Injuries
Caused by repetitive overhead motions or trauma, resulting in shoulder pain, weakness, and reduced range of motion.
Nerve Compression
Conditions like cervical radiculopathy where a pinched nerve in the neck causes radiating pain down the arms.
Tendonitis
Inflammation in the tendons due to repetitive movements, leading to conditions like tennis elbow and golfer's elbow.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Compression of the median nerve in the wrist, causing pain, numbness, and tingling in the hands and fingers.
Arthritis & Frozen Shoulder
Joint stiffness and pain from arthritis or adhesive capsulitis that severely limits arm and shoulder movement.
