Shoulder
Pain in the shoulder can interfere with the most basic of activities such as sleeping, reaching, hair care and driving! Not taking care of problems in the shoulder may lead to bigger problems later that require surgery!! The therapists at DASH are trained in the latest techniques to regain motion and relieve pain fast!
After treatment, you will find yourself using your arm without a second thought.
Check out kinesiotape. We use it in our clinic and we can teach your young (or young at heart) athlete how to apply. This helps reduce inflammation, decrease tension of the muscle. Great for muscle re-education.
Self Help Tips:
- Apply ice to the shoulder as soon as the pain begins or if your pain increases. Do not ice for more than 15 minutes.
- Recipe for a professional like ice pack: Put 2/3 part water to 1/3 part isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) in a zip lock bag. Put into the freezer for the next time you need an ice pack. The alcohol won't let the water freeze and it will be similar to a slushy.
- Wear a thin t-shirt under the ice pack to protect your skin. Allow 20 minutes before re-applying the ice.
Tennis Elbow
Lateral epicondylitis, also known as “tennis elbow,”
is an overuse syndrome. There is pain or inflammation on the outside
of the forearm near the elbow. The tendon, which connects muscle
to bone, might be partially torn at or near the place where it connects
to the bony bump on the outside of the elbow (called the lateral
epicondyle). Tennis elbow most commonly affects people in their
dominant arm, but it can occur in either or both arms. Tennis elbow
is caused by repeated motions of the wrist or forearm. The injury
is called "tennis elbow" because of its common occurrence
in the sport. The violent extension of the wrist, like during a
backhand hit, causes the condition. However, any activity that involves
repetitive twisting of the wrist, like using a screwdriver, is also
responsible.
Symptoms:
- Elbow pain that gradually worsens
- Weak grasp
- While grasping or twisting, pain radiates from the outside of
the elbow to the forearm and back of the hand
Golfers Elbow
This condition, also known as medial epicondylitis, is a very similar
injury to tennis elbow, but on the inside of the elbow. Due to overuse,
the tendon tears near the region where it connects to the bony bump
on the inside of the elbow (called the medial epicondyle). As with
tennis elbow, a variety of people experience this injury. Athletes
who use their wrists or clench their fingers repeatedly can develop
this condition. It is caused by damage to the muscles and tendons
that control the wrist and fingers. The damage is caused by repetitive
or excess stress on the wrist and fingers. Activities like golf,
throwing sports (pitching), racket sports, and simple things like
typing, hammering, or painting can lead to this injury.
Symptoms:
- Pain and tenderness on the inner side of the elbow
- Pain radiating to the inner side of the forearm
- Stiffness in elbow
- Pain and difficulty in making a fist
- Weakness in hands and wrists
