Elbow and Wrist pain
Pain in the hands are very common due to the usage of smartphones and computer based environment which can cause impact on the median nerve which controls feeling and movement in your thumb and fingers. If the nerve is compressed, it can be very painful and cramping.
Doing repetitive motion of the thumb or wrist by playing certain instrument/ texting on the mobile phones can damage the tendon and inflamed it. Rheumatoid arthritis can restrict the movements of the wrist and hand joints, swelling around the knuckles.
Elbow pain is most common due to the repetitive usage of elbow while playing tennis, golf, painting, carpenters using screwdrivers.etc. Osteopath corrects the dysfunction by treating holistically and diagnosing the root cause of the injury which may arise from the elbow, wrist, shoulder, upper back and neck. osteopaths can treat Bothe acute and chronic dysfunctions in a gentle and effective manner without using any strong manipulations like stretching, muscle energy techniques, strain counter strain methods, myofascial release.

I saw Dr Shruti with after a long period of pain in both my elbows that would not resolve. She takes a holistic approach to pain management and was able to identify the root of the problem, which was partly caused by an old injury. I’ve since been able to get back to movements and exercises that I have not been able to do for quite a while now. Thank you, Dr Shruti!

My second time going to Dr Shruti since I twisted my back and as follow up for my computer-tired hand. Due to the covid safety measures, we had to do a "distance session" over zoom and honestly going in I was a bit unsure how that could even work. But I was impressed - she managed to convey instructions so well and I felt so relaxed and refreshed after the session on par with in-person sessions. The back pain also reduced considerably after the session.
Shruti clearly knows what she is doing and is really good at it! Would 10/10 recommend.
