Arm Pain
There are many causes to
arm pain. Many people with jobs that involve
repetitive motion, such as mechanics,
assembly line workers, musicians, athletes,
clerical workers who use the keyboard for
extended periods, and data entry personnel,
experience frequent arm pain. Injury and too
much stress can be causes, too. Most arm
pain is due to shoulder instability, whether
caused by repetitive movement or another
reason. Experts agree that evaluating the
cause of pain is the best way to address
pain. Experts also agree that arm pain,
cannot be corrected by medication.
The brain directs the shoulders to move the
arms by using the spinal cord and nervous
system. The nerves and blood vessels that
supply the shoulders, arms, and hands start
in the neck and upper back and pass as a
bundle between the bones of the neck and
upper back and ribs and collarbones near the
cervical spine. Pressure on these nerves and
blood vessels create
symptoms. These symptoms can include lack of
normal motion, inflammation,
cramping, stiffness, weakness, and swelling
in the arm.
Chiropractors work to gently restore motion
and to restore proper nerve flow
through eliminating any misalignments in
vertebrae that affect pressure on the
corresponding nerves.
