Repetitive Overuse Injuries
Don’t Let Injuries Hold You Back
Repeating strain of joints and muscle groups can lead to injury. For comprehensive overuse injury care, chiropractic care is essential for proper recovery.
Repetitive Overuse Injuries
Repetitive Overuse Injuries, whether the result of occupational demands, poor posture, past injury, or athletic activities, can take a toll on your body. Chronic soft-tissue stress from repetitive motion can cause your body to produce tough, dense scar tissue. This tissue can impair joint function and alter movement patterns overall. There are many signs of a possible overuse injury. Generally, these include pain, decreased range of motion, loss of strength, and numbness. Muscle tenderness, throbbing, and joint pain can also be common. Additionally, weakness can occur in areas if nerves require treatment. Usually, these injuries have components of soft-tissue dysfunction, joint dysfunction, and movement pattern dysfunctions. All of these must be assessed and addressed to fully resolve the condition.
Exercise and Repetitive Overuse
Regular exercise, while highly encouraged for its health benefits, can also be a cause of repetitive overuse injuries. For example, running is a high-impact exercise that puts extra stress on your joints and cycling can cause repetitive stress to your entire body. Stabbing pain that persists, or mild discomfort that becomes severe, are signals that something is wrong and should be examined.
