Arm pain could be different from:
* duration (brief moment, versus intermittent pain, versus constant pain)
* Location (very specific location, covering an extensive region, global)
* Ability to travel to or radiate to other places
If you experience the sensation of a feeling of pins and needles or tingling like a slight electrical sensation but without the sensation of electricity or burning that is known as paresthesia.
The range of pain can range from mild irritation or discomfort, up to extreme discomfort that can be so severe that even slight pressure from wind blowing can interfere with the movement of your hand.
The main focus of physiotherapy hand therapy is usually on:
* a thorough assessment of the time of onset of injuries and pain,
• Identify the factors which cause or worsen the discomfort,
* Be aware of their family and medical history,
* and any other pertinent medical information
* manual and physical tests to determine exactly what is the root cause of the issue
* hand therapy, physiotherapy, and sports massages to begin from there
After that, the goal of physiotherapy is to reduce the discomfort with electrical therapy methods like ultrasound and interferential therapy, as well as cold therapy to reduce inflammation.
Physiotherapists can also utilize exercises and mobility therapies, and the management of soft tissues.
