Causes of Arm Pain
Before you can have your arm pain treated, the source must be discovered. Generally speaking, most arm pain is caused by an injury to the muscles or tendons in the arm due to repetitive motion, such as tennis elbow for example. When you do not rest your muscles or tendons enough between exercise sessions, then the pain can become worse.
Other causes are direct injuries to the arm and pressed or pinched nerves in the shoulders or even the neck area. However, in most cases the pain is caused by a combination of inflammation which reduces mobility and the pressing of nerves which causes the pain. Once identified, the proper treatment can be administered.

For minor causes such as muscle soreness, rest is recommended. Combined with ice packs to reduce the swelling, resting the muscles will allow for repair which will reduce the pain and restore normal function. However, if you have injured the muscles and tendons, then a more extensive treatment will be needed.
Physical therapy combined with prescribed or over the counter medications are a common treatment for arm pain. This helps to reduce the swelling and allow the muscles and tendons to repair themselves. Plus, it provides for greater mobility which in turn helps to prevent injuries from occurring again. In rare cases surgery is recommended. This is usually a last resort and only when all other options have been tried. For most people who suffer from arm pain, effective chiropractic care may be the right solution.
