Arm and Hand Pain

The nerves that supply your shoulders, arms, and hands emit from the neck and upper back regions. Spinal misalignments, called subluxations, may contribute to conditions such as bursitis, neuritis, tendonitis, epicondylitis, numbness, tingling, weakness, or carpal tunnel syndrome.

If shoulder, arm, and hand conditions hinder your golf or tennis game, or if everyday tasks such as dressing, using a computer, or picking up your children cause you discomfort, a subluxation may be present. Through careful examination, your chiropractor can often trace the source of your symptoms to the spine. The correction of the spinal subluxations may eliminate nerve pressure that has contributed to the malfunction and pain.

Ignoring the pain, or masking the pain with drugs, can cause serious damage to tissues of your arm, shoulder, or hand. Consult your chiropractor; spinal adjustments may well solve your problem.
