Q. I have a dull pain in my right arm, hip, and right foot. Can a chiropractor help me?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Your complaints can be managed by doing physiotherapy. Pain while doing overhead activities suggests that muscles situated above the shoulder and sides of the neck are weak. Having dull pain while doing particular overhead activities can be managed by changing habits of doing work, strengthening muscles, and performing stretching exercises in tight muscles. Pain in ankle up and down movements suggests that there is tightness in leg muscles. It can be managed by doing simple stretching exercises.

You can have pain due to faulty posture of work, excessive overhead activities, habitual use of cell phones in lying positions, weight lifting, and weakness of neck muscles.

You can have trepezitis and frozen shoulder.

You can have trepezitis and low back pain due to muscle tightness.

Have ice application on the painful site for seven minutes twice a day. Have gently massage above shoulder and sideways of neck with oil. Do stretching. Turn face to left side and vision to floor. Maintain this stretch for fifteen seconds and perform three repetitions twice a day. Have a lying position by placing pillow under head and try to press chin on pillow. Hold this ten seconds and do five repetitions twice a day. Do ankle up and down movements. Do this for ten repetitions. Try to do stretches in both directions in a possible range.

Avoid doing overhead activities with weight. Do not use a cell phone in a lying position. Use a soft pillow with reduced thickness. Do not watch television in a lying position.

Do strengthening exercise and stretching exercise to have its long-term effects. Have a follow-up after five days.

Same symptoms doesn’t mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
