Arm Pain
There are many causes for arm pain. Many people with jobs that
involve repetitive motion, such as mechanics, assembly line
workers, musicians, athletes, clerical workers and people who
use the keyboard for extended periods such as data entry
personnel, experience frequent arm pain. Injury and too
much stress can be causes, as well. 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.
