Physical Therapy
It is important to understand that often times where the pain presents is not the area that needs to be treated. The pain may be due to that area compensating and being over-worked from another area not pulling its weight. Our rehabilitation program includes strength, flexibility and agility training as well as training focused on coordination of body parts and motion to prepare the individual to return to full participation.

Rotator Cuff Tendinosis
Rotator Cuff Tendinosis is a relatively common form of tendinosis that is caused by the overuse of the rotator cuff as a result of repetitive overactivity, age, or genetics. On a structural level, tendinosis means that your affected tendon has structurally changed due to its overuse and will potentially, over time, tear. Rotator cuff tendinosis is most commonly found in adults and often identified by the patient experiencing chronic shoulder pain and/or the following symptoms:
- Joint stiffness
- Inflammation or swelling of the shoulder
- Severe pain that may hinder your movement
- Noticeable weakness in your arm and shoulder
- Cracking or grating noise when moving your rotator cuff and shoulder
Since the blood supply to tendons is rather low, recovery time can sometimes take up to three to six months, depending on the severity of your tendinosis and proactiveness in seeking medical attention. Through physical therapy and other treatments prescribed by Joints in Motion Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation, we work hard to get you feeling better and fully recovered as quickly as possible.
At Joints in Motion Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation, and our staff work with many patients who suffer from rotator cuff tendinosis every week and are happy to share that most, if not all, of our patients experience a full recovery.
If you are experiencing shoulder pain or any of the symptoms mentioned above, please call us today at (718) 652-3432 to request your appointment at Joints in Motion Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation.

Tennis Elbow
Also known as lateral epicondylitis, tennis elbow is an overuse and muscle strain injury in which the tendons in your elbow are overworked, causing severe pain and discomfort. The pain primarily occurs where your forearm muscle tendons attach to the bony bump on the outside of your elbow.
- Pain radiating from the outside of your elbow into your forearm and wrist
- Weakness in your hands and wrists
- Elbow or wrist stiffness
To treat your tennis elbow, our chiropractor may prescribe certain exercises or massages to alleviate the pain, to wear an elbow strap, refrain from strenuous activity, or take medicine such as ibuprofen, naproxen or aspirin, to help your body heal.
If you are experiencing the symptoms mentioned above or suffering from tennis elbow, call us today at (718) 652-3432 to request your appointment at Joints in Motion Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation with our chiropractor.

Golfer’s Elbow
While not limited to golfers, golfer’s elbow or medial epicondylitis is a condition that causes pain to the inside of your arm where the muscles in your forearm attach to the bony bump found on the inside of your elbow. This is caused by damage to your muscles and tendons that control your wrist and fingers.
- Severe discomfort or pain on the inner side of your forearm
- Weakness in your hands and wrists
- Elbow or wrist stiffness
- Feeling a pins and needles sensation on your forearm or elbow
- Your elbow is inflamed, and you may be running a fever
- Tingling in the fingers of your affected arm
To treat your golfer’s elbow, our chiropractor may prescribe specific therapies, exercises or massages to alleviate the pain and tension, to wear a brace, and refrain from strenuous activity or intense muscle and tendon strain to allow your body time to heal. To prevent medial epicondylitis from occurring again, our chiropractor may recommend for you to engage in weight strengthening and frequently stretch the affected arm.
If you are experiencing the symptoms mentioned above or suffering from golfer’s elbow, call us today at (718) 652-3432 to request your appointment at Joints in Motion Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation with our chiropractor.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
CTS is a problem of the median nerve which runs from the forearm into the hand. When there is excessive pressure in the wrist, it causes swelling of the median nerve. This small area called the carpal tunnel is a narrow tunnel at the wrist made up of bones, soft tissues, nerves, tendons, ligaments and blood vessels. When the median nerve which runs through this tunnel gets compressed it causes pain, weakness, numbness or tingling in the hand and wrist which radiates into the forearm. The carpal tunnel is the most common area that gets compressed in both the hands and feet.
CTS should be diagnosed and treated early. During your consultation, you will receive a standard physical examination of the hands, arms, shoulders and neck to help determine if your symptoms are related to daily activities or to an underlying disorder. Our highly skilled chiropractor will also utilize other orthopedic tests to try to produce the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome. Laboratory tests and x-rays can reveal diabetes, arthritis, fractures, and other common causes of wrist and hand pain.
