Elbow & Wrist Pain

Elbow & Wrist Pain

Elbow and Wrist complaints are typically a result of repetitive and overuse movements such as tennis, knitting, playing musical instruments, skilled-trade workers, and golf. Without proper treatment or rest, these complaints can persist for over a year from the first onset of pain.

We have recently seen a rise of elbow and wrist complaints from excessive use of the computer, keyboard, and mouse; with the new shift to desk workers operating from their homes instead of the office. If you are struggling with a persistent elbow or wrist pain and it is preventing you from enjoying activities outside of work, Dr. Yap CAN HELP!
