5. Wrist, arm & hand
The hand and wrists are common sites for osteoarthritis. In addition, many people suffer injuries where they slip and put out a hand to break their fall, possibly resulting in a fracture. This may result in pain around the wrist and hand area, even many years after the original accident.
Pain on the side of the elbow (golfer's elbow or tennis elbow) usually results from repetitive overuse.
Pregnant ladies and people suffering from certain medical conditions (for example thyroid disorders) may also suffer with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, whereby a nerve in the wrist is compressed, leading to pins and needles in the hand. Osteopathy can provide an alternative to coventional treatment, which may include surgery.
