Arm Pain Relief in McAllen – 911 Pain Management
Common Causes of Arm Injury/Pain
Arm injuries are common and may result from various causes. We offer treatment and pain management if you suffer any of the following conditions:
Tennis Elbow
Overuse of the forearm muscles and tendons around the elbow can lead to pain and inflammation, especially during gripping or lifting activities.
Biceps Tendonitis
Inflammation of the biceps tendon near the shoulder or elbow, often from overuse. It leads to pain during lifting or rotating the arm.
Golfer’s Elbow
Similar to tennis elbow but on the inner side of the elbow. It causes aching or burning pain from repetitive wrist and forearm motions.
Fractures
Breaks in the bones of the arm—such as the humerus, radius, or ulna—can result from trauma, causing sharp pain, swelling, and reduced movement.
Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI)
Frequent, repetitive motions like typing or lifting can strain muscles and tendons in the arm, leading to pain, fatigue, and tightness over time.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
The most common wrist fracture of the carpal bones is called a scaphoid fracture. This could pinch or damage the nerves in your palms.
Treatment Options for Arm Pain Relief
Find out how we can help relieve your arm pain through safe and effective treatment options.
Pharmacological therapy targets the source of your arm pain through prescribed medication. Along with an intake schedule that will ensure the effectiveness of your medication, our staff will work with you to find a non-narcotic medication that meets your needs and relieves your arm pain.
Trigger point injections are used to relax and “undo” knots of muscle in your arm muscles. These knots are caused by the tensing of muscles due to stress, injury, or overuse. The trigger point injections generally result in immediate pain reduction and may be used in several sites during the same visit.
In a facet injection, also known as a facet block, an anesthetic and steroid are injected into one or more of your facet joints. The injection can be used to diagnose the cause or treat the pain. This injection is specifically applied in between the elbow or wrist joints, allowing the medication to act at the source.
