At Affinity Wellness in Kelowna, we specialise in diagnosing and treating arm pain, a common issue that may disrupt daily activities. Our skilled physiotherapists utilize advanced techniques and create personalized plans to effectively alleviate symptoms and restore arm strength and functionality. We are committed to helping you overcome arm pain, improving your work and play capabilities.

Arm Muscle Strain Treatment

Muscle strains in the arm are common but can be very painful and limiting. Affinity Wellness provides comprehensive treatment options, including rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE), along with targeted rehabilitation exercises to promote healing and prevent future injuries, ensuring a quick return to your daily routines.

Ulnar Neuropathy Treatment

Ulnar neuropathy, or “cubital tunnel syndrome,” causes numbness and tingling in the arm due to nerve compression. Our treatment approach includes bracing, ergonomic adjustments, and specific exercises to relieve pressure on the ulnar nerve, enhancing your comfort and arm function.

Brachial Plexus Injury Treatment

Brachial plexus injuries can result in weakness, loss of sensation, or paralysis in the arm. Affinity Wellness’s specialized rehabilitation programs focus on physiotherapy and exercises to maximize nerve recovery and improve arm function, tailored to each client’s specific needs.

Radial Head Subluxation Treatment (Nursemaid’s Elbow)

Common in children, radial head subluxation, or nursemaid’s elbow, involves a dislocation of the elbow joint. Our gentle and effective treatment restores the elbow’s normal position, coupled with guidance on preventing recurrence, ensuring your child’s quick and safe recovery.

Repetitive Strain Injury Treatment

Repetitive strain injuries (RSIs) from overuse can cause pain and disability in the arm. Affinity Wellness’s approach includes activity modification, ergonomic advice, and targeted exercises to reduce strain, alleviate symptoms, and restore normal arm function.

Thoracic Outlet Syndrome Treatment

Thoracic outlet syndrome results from compression of nerves or blood vessels between the collarbone and the first rib. We offer specialized treatments aimed at relieving compression, including physiotherapy exercises and posture correction, to alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life.

Compartment Syndrome Treatment

Compartment syndrome, characterized by increased pressure within a muscle compartment, can be acute or chronic. Affinity Wellness provides emergency care for acute cases and physiotherapy for chronic cases, focusing on reducing pressure, alleviating pain, and restoring function.

Tricep Tendinopathy Treatment

Tricep tendinopathy involves inflammation or irritation of the triceps tendon. Our targeted treatment plans include specific exercises to strengthen the triceps muscle, manual therapy to promote tendon healing, and strategies to prevent further irritation.

Biceps Tendinopathy Treatment

Biceps tendinopathy can cause pain in the front of the arm. Affinity Wellness’s treatment strategy involves rest, ice, and rehabilitation exercises to strengthen the biceps and improve flexibility, ensuring a full recovery and return to normal activities.
