Suggest Treatment For Hand And Neck Pain

Hi Doctor, my dad has a hand and neck pain. He cannot raise the hand beyond the shoulder. If strained, by doing gardening, driving the van and stuff the pain becomes intensive. It has been like this for about 6 -7 months. How can this be cured? Thank you, Kitty

Hello,

I think you should start providing the exercises for the upper limb. Like lying down in the mat and trying to do all the 4 movement's of the shoulder like flexion, abduction and extension in positions like supine, side lying and prone. This method is called the gravity eliminated method. Post this you can try with gravity resisted position and post this try with resistance. Change the exercises to standing and later if needed take the help of a physiotherapist who can guide if any shoulder mobilization is needed.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
