Repetitive motion and stress

Many of Dr. Rachel’s patients come to see her for work related injuries, unaware that what they’re actually dealing with is a repetitive strain injury or an RSI. An RSI is an injury that develops over a long period of time, through repetitive motion, poor posture, incorrect ergonomics, or simply tension and overuse. RSIs typically present as tendonitis (inflammation of the tendon), or bursitis (inflammation of the fluid sac around a joint).

The most common types of RSIs are:
  • Carpal Tunnel
  • Tennis Elbow
  • Radial Tunnel Syndrome
  • Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
  • Focal Dystonia
  • Tendonosis
  • Golfers Elbow

Chiropractic care for Repetitive Stress Injuries involves adjusting the joints that are overworked, and allowing the tendons time to heal. Some repetitive stresses require learning a different movement to involve different muscles, rather than the ones affected by the injury. Dr. Rachel can also talk to you about the ergonomics of your desk, the height your desk and chair should be, and correct posture to use while you work.
