Repetitive Stress Injuries (RSI)
Repetitive stress injuries (RSI) have always been a source of discomfort and pain due to inflammation in muscles, tendons, and nerves. However, with the new age of COVID related work from home, there are now millions of workers working from home in environments that are not optimized for their productivity. RSI can affect multiple areas of the body, but it is more common in the upper extremities, back, and neck.
If you think you have an RSI, call the office in San Francisco or book an appointment online to get started.
