Repetitive Strain
Injuries (RSI)
Diagnosis
An initial examination of the painful
area will look for tenderness and swelling,
symptomatic of conditions such as Tenosynovitis
or Epicondylitis. We also thoroughly examine the
spine, muscular and nervous system which are
often involved.
Treatment
Once a diagnosis has
been established following orthopaedic and
neurological testing, mobilisation and deep
tissue massage aim to improve posture, stop pain
and restore strength and mobility.
We help you
correct the causative activity at the
root of the problem by advice on height of
computer screens and workstations, ergonomic
seating, writing slopes, beds and car seats.
We
prescribe regular corrective
exercises to improve posture and relieve pain.
Chiropractic assessment
and treatment of involved muscles, ligaments and
tendons may involve soft-tissue massage therapy,
ultrasound, laser and acupuncture. Assessment
and treatment of the shoulders and neck is
essential and effective |
