RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury)

Chiropractic

Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) and Occupational Overuse Syndrome (OOS) are umbrella terms that include many localised injuries such as trigger finger, golfer’s and tennis elbow and carpal tunnel and also more diffuse pain syndromes which may be diagnosed as cervicobrachial pain syndrome or chronic pain syndrome. These injuries are a breakdown the the whole kinematic chain of the body or usually a limb. Although the pain if often local to a joint, ( elbow in tennis elbow) successful treatment involves working on the entire limb and the part of the spine that provides the limb with nerve innervation. Chiropractors get great results helping with RSI because of their full body and intergrated approach. A Chiropractor would use  spinal manipulation or mobilisation, soft tissue release techniques, dry needling and home exercises.
