Repetitive Stress Injury | Newark DE Chiropractor
chiropractic care can help you manage a repetitive stress disorder
Repetitive stress injuries (RSI) and overuse syndromes are quite common. RSI can be caused by a variety of work conditions, but computer use, sporting activities and prolonged exposure to cold and/or vibration are most often to blame.
These injuries can oftentimes be painful and even debilitating. Other symptoms may include, but are not limited to, tenderness, throbbing, swelling, rash, numbness, tingling, joint stiffness and/or weakness, and sensitivity to cold or heat.
Carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis and bursitis are a few of the most common conditions that result from RSI.
carpal tunnel syndrome responds well to chiropractic care plus supplementation
About: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common repetitive stress injury. Most people associate this condition with the use of a keyboard, but CTS can arise from any activity that requires the repetitive use of the hands and wrists.
Potential Causes: There are many factors that can predispose a person to developing carpal tunnel syndrome. CTS has also been linked with cervical spine (neck) conditions and, believe it or not, nutritional deficiencies.

tendinitis heals slowly… chiropractic care can optimize healing
About: Tendinitis is defined as an inflammation of the tendon. It is probably the most common repetitive stress injury.
Tennis-elbow, bicipital tendinitis and trigger-finger are some of the most common names for this condition.
Potential Causes: Tendons anchor muscles to bone; if a muscle repetitively contracts and lengthens while performing a particular activity the tendon (anchor) associated with that muscle can get irritated and become inflamed.

bursitis can often be a result of misalignment… chiropractic can help
About: Bursitis is a common cause of musculoskeletal pain. It affects the small, fluid-filled sacs (bursae) that cushion the bones, tendons and muscles near your joints.
The most common locations for bursitis are the shoulder, elbow, hip and knee. But you can also have bursitis at the back of your heel and the base of your big toe.
Potential Causes: Bursitis occurs when a bursae becomes irritated and inflamed. The inflammation is usually caused when we overuse a particular joint or partake in activities that require repetitive motions.

Have you been suffering from an RSI or overuse syndrome… chiropractic can help!
