Doctors About Care, PC North Babylon arm pain treatment chiropractic experts uses state-of-the-art diagnostic methods to exactly determine the cause of your arm pain, as they have for their patients in North Babylon since 1999. Tests for arm pains consist of neurological and orthopedic tests, including nerve reflexes and muscle tests. It is important that arm pain, resulting from heart disease, be ruled out.
Arm pain, arm numbness or arm tingling can be the result of different injuries:
The neck can be the root of many arm pains. Muscle strains to the neck, pinched nerve in the neck, cervical disc herniation, degenerated disc, any compression of your neck's discs, for example, can refer pain down the arms. Weak upper back and neck muscles can also bring arm pain, numbness and tingling as well.
Overexertion and overuse of the arm from the gym, heavy participating in sports, musical instrument playing, even excessive computer use can create arm pain.
Small injuries to the arm such as small fractures to hand bones, ligament tears, joint strains can also create arm pain. As these are serious, they should be evaluated by a medical professional.
Arthritis causes your joints to become unstable and if they remain that way, they can fuse. Hands and wrists would be the first place arthritis would strike, before the arm.
When the cause of the arm pain has been determined, the course of arm pain treatment can begin.
North Babylon arm pain treatment chiropractic procedures include:
• Chiropractic treatment, including spinal manipulation. The course of this treatment is to improve the function of the spine, reduce any scar tissue, and to deal with nerve signaling which gets interrupted or misrouted.
• Physical therapy, ultrasound, electrical muscle stimulation, cold laser treatment. These will ease the inflammation which causes pain, as well as help with muscle spasms.
• Neck traction (gentle stretching of the neck), to gently separate the joints in the neck, which provides relief of the numbness down your arm you may be experiencing.
• Physical medicine techniques to aid with tight, stiff and sore muscles. These will aggravate your spine by misaligning its joints.
