​​How to alleviate and manage repetitive stress disorder with chiropractic care?​​

 

Repetitive Stress Disorder is caused by excessive stress or strain on a specific body part, like the wrist or lower back from lifting. This will lead to pain, swelling, muscle strain, or tissue damage. Repetitive stress disorders belong to the same category as strains, sprains, and repetitive motion injuries. These types of injuries are especially prevalent among individuals who engage in repetitive movements for their job or participate in high-intensity sports or musical activities. However, it is important to be careful as repetitive stress disorders account for almost half of all work-related injuries.

Chiropractic treatments offer an effective method for controlling and alleviating inflammation and discomfort resulting from repetitive stress disorder. Routine chiropractic care offers patients with repetitive motion injuries a safe, non-invasive, and non-addictive option instead of relying on prescription drugs or over-the-counter pain medications, which are often used to help them cope with pain and inflammation.

Chiropractors administer a gentle, non-invasive, non-addictive treatment called a chiropractic adjustment. Chiropractic adjustments aim to decrease joint restrictions or misalignments in the spine and other body joints to lower inflammation and enhance the function of the affected joint and nervous system. By enhancing joint mobility, nerve system function, and spinal health, your body can more effectively address symptoms of repetitive stress disorder.

Listed  are a few of the ways chiropractic care and adjustments can benefit individuals with repetitive stress disorders in terms of their health:

​

• Improved flexibility

• Decreased inflammation

• Relief from joint discomfort or pain

• Improved joint motion and coordination

In order to determine if chiropractic treatment is suitable for your condition, the chiropractor at Spinal Solutions will conduct a consultation and examination, and if needed, may recommend diagnostic imaging like x-ray or MRI. According to the results of your chiropractic evaluation and consultation, your chiropractor might choose to collaborate with other medical professionals, such as massage therapists, physical therapists, or primary care physicians, to treat your stress disorder.
