Arm Pain

Arm pain often occurs with shoulder and neck pain but each of these problems may alone. When occurring together, the term cervicobrachial pain is often used. The pains may be aching , stabbing, shooting, radiating, sharp or burning. The pain from this condition may radiate through the shoulder and into the arm, mimicking the warning signs of a heart attack.

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome

Complex regional pain syndrome or CRPS, a chronic pain condition, that can affect any part of the body. CRPS is associated with severe sensitivity to types of stimulation that are not usually painful such as a light touch, or slight pressure.

Cumulative Trauma Disorders

Any condition that is caused by the repeated overuse of a body part can be classed as a cumulative trauma disorder. In this sense, “trauma” refers to an action that requires hard work from the body, a farther than normal stretching, or a greater than usual impact. Essentially the function commands more resources than those used in normal day-to-day activities.

Facial Pain

Facial pain can result from a range of conditions, some readily identifiable, and others originating from no apparent disorder or damage. Typically, facial pain presents after dental or sinus surgery, or as a result of trauma to the skull or face.

Repetitive Strain Disorders

Any condition that is caused by the repeated overuse of a body part can be classed as a cumulative trauma disorder. In this sense, “trauma” refers to an action that requires hard work from the body, a farther than normal stretching, or a greater than usual impact. Essentially the function commands more resources than those used in normal day-to-day activities.

Shoulder Pain

Shoulder pain is almost always linked to some degree of discomfort or dysfunction in the neck as well. This region of the human body has a high concentration of muscles, ligaments, tendons, complex bone structures, nerves, arteries, and veins and so is subject to a number of potential problems.

Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJ)

Symptoms and issues with the muscles and joints that connect the lower jaw to the skull are called “temporomandibular” and are commonly referred to as TMJ. These disorders are associated with pain and difficulty chewing.

Thoracic Outlet Syndrome

Thoracic outlet syndrome refers to a condition that affects the area between the rib cage and the collar bone. In that area, blood vessels and nerve pass through a narrow space leading to the arm. If they do not have sufficient room and are compressed symptoms materialize in the hands or arms.
