Specific or combined pain management therapies can significantly reduce, arrest and prevent pain, stiffness and limited mobility, and assist in healing.
Similar to carpal and cubital tunnel syndromes, the affected nerve is the radial nerve ,
whose pathway runs outside of the elbow, and is irritated by prolonged
wrist or finger flexion, repeated or aggressive pushing or pulling
actions, constant gripping or twisting, or overuse of a bent wrist. The
symptoms of radial tunnel syndrome often get mistaken for a condition
widely known as tennis elbow, and an examination by your doctor will
help locate the source of your pain. Radial tunnel syndrome is most
common among people who do frequent or improper keyboard or mouse work,
play musical instruments or perform other tasks requiring bent wrists
and finger flexion.
