Greetings!
As the COVID crisis continues, many of our patients are spending more time than ever in front of their computer screens, tablets and cell phones. We are seeing patients presenting with new conditions like
Selfie Elbow
and
Text Neck
while old conditions like
Carpal tunnel syndrome
and
Opioid addiction
are back on the rise.
Unfortunately, panic, job loss, financial insecurity, inability to access non-drug health care services for pain caused by any of the above are elevating the risk of Opioid use and addiction.
Please help us spread the word that InnerMovement is OPEN and following the strictest safety guidelines to keep patients safe from the virus.
We are a drug free solution for Pain.
If you or a loved one are suffering with
Neck pain and/or tingling, numbness and pain in your wrist, hand, elbow and forearm...
y
ou are most likely suffering from
one of the Syndromes above
.
If left untreated aches, pains and numbness can progress to weak muscles in the hand, difficulty gripping and even permanent loss of feeling in some fingers.
We have seen patients
unable to sleep through the night
because of Pain. Often they are
unable to do their daily tasks at home and work without pain
causing them to feel irritable and less productive.
Patients need to be able to sleep in order to heal and they deserve to lead happy, productive, pain free lives, so relieving Text Neck, Selfie Elbow, Carpal Tunnel or any type of pain is a top priority for us.
At InnerMovement we have solutions to Chronic, work related Pain
. We recommend patients start with lifestyle modification such as:
- Set up an 'ergonomic' workspace at home & work.
- Spend less time Tapping, Scrolling & Swiping on your phone or tablet.
- Improve your posture, focusing on correcting rounded shoulders + forward head position.
- Give your neck, chest, hands and wrists a stretch break every 15-20mins.
- Wear Carpal Tunnel Wrist braces while sleeping.
- Supplement with Vitamin B6, Vit D and Turmeric.
Here are some other 'hands on' solutions you can schedule at InnerMovement to alleviate these painful conditions.
Until your next visit,
Dr Heidi & the staff at InnerMovement
