The actual cause of arm or hand pain can be difficult to self-diagnose. If you have had an obvious injury, such as stressing a joint through a repetitive pattern at work, dislocating a shoulder playing sports, or pinching a nerve by falling asleep in an awkward position, the source of your immediate pain may be obvious. However, when pain in the arms or hands develops slowly over time without the occurrence of an obvious injury or accident, or when the pain from an injury has become chronic and the source becomes perplexing, you may be in need of a more thorough assessment to determine the source. The most common issues that lead to arm or hand pain include:

  • Bursitis
  • Arthritis
  • Tendinitis
  • Misalignments of the vertebrae in the neck
  • Accident or injury

Due to the complexity of the joints and the vast number of possible causes of your arm or hand pain, it is important to have a professional evaluation to determine the source. Using a combination of a thorough review of your medical history, a physical examination, and advanced imaging techniques, a chiropractor can get a comprehensive picture that will lead to the root cause of your pain.
