Repetitive Stress Disorders
Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) Treatments
When you perform the same motion over and over again – whether on the job or in a sport – you run the risk of incurring “cumulative” trauma.
Painful conditions such as tendonitis, tennis elbow, carpal tunnel syndrome, and bursitis can result from these repetitive motions.
There are two types of repetitive stress disorders, also known as repetitive strain injury (RSI), that can impact your muscles, nerves, ligaments, and tendons, creating symptoms such as tenderness, stiffness, tingling, or loss of sensation in the affected area.
