The elbow and wrist are complex joints that require multiple muscles, tendons, nerves, and ligaments to function optimally. Injuries and overuse can lead to pain, stiffness, and various maladies. Fortunately, there are several rehab programs available to help patients regain function. With elbow and wrist injuries, it is important to seek professional help.
Injuries to the elbow and wrist can be very painful and difficult to treat. Often, the cause of the injury cannot be pinpointed, and there is often a period between the injury and the time that a person can start exercising.
Elbow and wrist rehabilitation will need to start exercising as soon as you can and continue doing so for the foreseeable future.
If you have suffered from an elbow or wrist injury, you will want to start rehabilitation immediately. This article will give you an overview of elbow and wrist rehabilitation, and offer some helpful tips as to how you can start.
