A common repetitive use disorder is carpal tunnel syndrome, which is characterized by tingling, numbness, weakness and pain into the hand from a compressed nerve in the wrist. However, you can also develop pain in the shoulders, elbows, and even in the neck, mid back and lower back from repetitive activities versus one particular trauma or incident.

The doctors would mobilize the nerves using ART, breaking up scar tissue around them, loosening tight muscles, and regaining motion, thereby decreasing the pressure on the nerves where they travel through muscles. No chiropractic manipulation is done in the hand, wrist, or shoulder joints themselves.
