Where Can I Get Treatment for a Repetitive Stress Injury in Jacksonville?
Full Swing Healthcare on Beach Blvd treats repetitive stress injuries in Jacksonville using chiropractic, dry needling, shockwave therapy, and IASTM scraping depending on which structures are involved and how far the condition has progressed.
A patient came to us from one of the financial district offices in Southpoint after developing bilateral forearm and wrist pain over six months of increased keyboard work. She had tried a wrist brace and anti-inflammatories with minimal improvement. Dr. Muren assessed her and found the primary drivers were not in the wrist at all. She had cervical C6-C7 restriction producing referred forearm tension, combined with pronator teres and flexor digitorum trigger points from sustained keyboard position, and early extensor tendinopathy at the lateral elbow from the combination of keyboard and mouse use. The wrist brace had been addressing the end of a chain that started in the neck. Treatment addressed the cervical restriction with adjustment, the forearm trigger points with dry needling, and the early tendinopathy with shockwave. In four weeks her forearm pain had cleared and her wrist symptoms were minimal.
What Repetitive Stress Injuries We Treat
Lateral and medial epicondylitis from keyboard, tool use, or sports. Carpal tunnel syndrome presentations with a cervical component. Forearm flexor and extensor tendinopathy from occupational gripping. Thoracic and cervical strain from sustained desk and screen posture. Rotator cuff tendinopathy from repetitive overhead or reaching movements. Lumbar disc and paraspinal conditions from sustained seated work. These are the conditions that develop gradually from accumulated mechanical loading rather than from a single traumatic event.
Why RSI Requires a Full Chain Assessment
Repetitive stress injuries almost always have a proximal mechanical contributor that the patient has never had assessed. Carpal tunnel symptoms with a C6-C7 restriction. Lateral epicondylitis with a thoracic mobility deficit that changes how the arm loads. Lumbar disc problems with an SI restriction that has been altering load distribution for years. Treating only the site of pain while the mechanical driver continues to load the tissue leads to recurrence. Full Swing Healthcare assesses the full kinetic chain from the site of pain outward to identify what is actually driving the accumulation.
