42- Wrist Problems

<p><strong>There is nothing more frustrating than being musically inspired or having a gig coming up but not being able to do it because of health problems. As mentioned in the podcast intro, I am not a licensed therapist but I am a Doctor. I have a Doctorate in Chiropractic and I have been licensed to treat patients in the state of Texas since 2012. So I think it might be time for me to educate the world on probably the most personal subject that can plague a musician… “the injuries that limit your ability to play.”</strong></p> <p><strong>Now there are many reasons someone might be limited in their ability to play at the level they once did. One of the more common ailments I have seen is wrist problems. From fractures and arthritis to carpal tunnel, sprains, and strains. Wrist issues can prevent a musician from doing the thing they love as a hobby. Or for professionals, the thing they do to pay the bills.</strong></p> <p><strong>But what causes wrist pain?&nbsp; Should I go see a doctor? Can wrist problems be prevented? Is there a way to treat it at home? Can you play with a cast? And did Web MD really diagnose wrist pain as a Limes Disease, Hypothyroidism, or Lupus? Well we will discuss this, and more, on this episode of the tweed couch.</strong></p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/tweedcouch/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/tweedcouch/support</a>
