Chiropractor for Repetitive Stress Disorders

A Repetitive Stress Disorder is an injury from overuse when excessive stress has been put on a specific area of the body, resulting in either swelling, pain, muscle strain, or damage.  Here at The Preston Family Chiropractic & Acupuncture, we treat a variety of repetitive stress disorders.

Runner’s Knee

Does your knee feel weak, like it might give out? You may have Runner’s Knee. Other symptoms include pain in or around the knee, stiffness preventing normal movement, clicking, popping, and swelling. Unfortunately, Runner’s Knee generally does not spontaneously heal. It does require the proper treatment if you want to get well. However, our chiropractic treatment can help with healing plus relieve pain. A runner’s knee is one of our most commonly treated knee problems. Your knee is quite complex: It has not only three prominent bones but also three compartments, ligaments, cartilage, and tendons. Connected to all this are the knee muscles. If you are dealing with pain, knee popping, or just sluggish knee function, it could be a problem related to any of these, and our chiropractic staff is here to discover the root of the problem and help.

Tennis Elbow

If you have Tennis Elbow, you probably feel the pain that begins in the elbow and extends along the exterior of your arm to the wrist and forearm. Tennis elbows may also weaken the wrist and cause discomfort within the wrist joint, making regular daily tasks such as turning a doorknob or holding a cup more challenging.

Golfer’s Elbow

Golfer’s Elbow refers to inflammation in the tendons, which connect your forearm muscles to the bone that runs on the inner side of your elbow. It is common among novices playing golf; however, it can also result from repetitive arm movements like hammering or throwing.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a widespread disorder that can cause numbness, tingling, and discomfort in the hand and forearm. It results from pressure placed at the median nerve that runs along the length of your arm and passes through the tunnel running through your wrist, known as the carpal tunnel.

Shoulder Impingement

Shoulder impingement causes pain due to inflammation in the shoulder from repetitive use. Aging and injuries can make the issue worse. Our clients with shoulder impingement usually experience general stiffness and throbbing in the shoulder. This type of pain may resemble a toothache rather than the tearing pain of an injured muscle. The person may also see or feel swelling in their shoulder.

Shin Splints

Shin splints can affect more than only runners. Jumping rope, walking long distances, or even running after children in the playground may cause the burning and tightness of the shins, which indicates the formation of shin splints. Other things that can result in shin splints include failing to stretch before exercising; jogging, walking, or running on hard surfaces like concrete; poor footwear; over-straining while performing physically intense work; and failing to rest sufficiently between workouts.

Bursitis

Bursitis may occur whenever you repeat movements or experience a slight hit on your joints. If joints are under pressure or over-used, the bursa could become damaged. You may experience swelling, tenderness, and pain in joints and tendons.

Stress Fracture

Stress fractures are hairline cracks that occur in bones due to frequent or long-term usage. The most frequent locations for stress fractures are the feet bones (metatarsals) and bones of the shin (tibia) as well as the upper of the leg bone (fibula) and the bone of the thigh (femur) and bone back (vertebrae). Overuse injuries can happen as a result of stress fractures. Most leg injuries occur when you are jumping, running, or dancing.

There are many types of repetitive stress injuries. Therefore it is essential to use moderation when it comes to repetitive tasks and take frequent breaks. If you are suffering from this type of injury, a chiropractor may be able to help moderate the pain naturally.

What Can A Chiropractor Do For Repetitive Stress Disorders?

Chiropractic treatment can effectively control and ease pain and swelling caused by repetitive stress disorders. We provide gentle, non-invasive, drug-free therapy, also known as chiropractic adjustments. Our chiropractic adjustments help reduce joint restrictions or misalignments of the spine and other joints to decrease inflammation and enhance the performance of the joint affected and the nervous system. By increasing joint mobility and improving the function of your nervous system and the health of your spine, your body will be able to deal more effectively with the symptoms of chronic stress disorder.

Medical Massage for Repetitive Stress Disorders

Medical Massage Therapy refers to advanced massage techniques to treat a specific condition. Our chiropractors can include medical massage therapy in your treatment plan to give you pain relief from your repetitive stress disorder.

Medical massage is one of the best ways to alleviate pain and bring you back to feeling healthy and energized. A soothing touch from our chiropractors will help you relax, calm your nerves, and give you a profound feeling of peace. Massage therapy removes toxins from the body and increases the production of serotonin, which can relieve stress. So, if you are experiencing stress or anxiety, come and see us today.
