Frequently Asked Questions: Arm Pain
-
If your arm pain is persistent, worsening, or accompanied by weakness, numbness, or coordination problems, you should seek medical attention.
-
The best way to relieve arm pain depends on the underlying cause. Simple at-home remedies like rest, ice, heat therapy, and gentle stretching may help with mild discomfort. However, persistent or worsening arm pain may require medical intervention. Mr Gordan Grahovac takes a holistic approach, offering lifestyle modifications, physiotherapy recommendations, and non-invasive treatments such as nerve root blocks or epidural injections. In cases where structural issues like nerve compression or a herniated disc are responsible, minimally invasive or surgical treatments may be necessary to provide long-term relief.
-
For mild cases, posture improvements, physiotherapy, and anti-inflammatory treatments may help. However, if your pain is caused by nerve compression or a spinal issue, further intervention may be required.
-
Surgery is only recommended if non-invasive treatments fail and if nerve compression is severe enough to cause lasting damage.
