Let’s find your specific, targeted at-home pain solution for your particular Neck, Wrist, Back, Knee, Foot, Carpal Tunnel or Plantar Fasciitis condition.
Before you embark on this or any other at-home pain solutions, you should consult a medical professional to exclude the possibility of muscle, ligament or bone tears, sprains or breaks. It’s also important to rule out auto-immune and other conditions ( such as lupus and arthritis ) that should be handled by a medical professional.
First, let’s determine if your pain is from an inflammatory, nerve or mechanical condition.
Each type of pain requires a different type of solution plan.
If your pain occurs all the time and in all ranges of motion, you are probably in an inflammatory condition, and should be looking at the inflammation plans below.
If your pain is accompanied by zinging, burning or numbness or shoots down your limbs, then you should be looking at the nerve pain solutions below.
Carpal tunnel and sciatica are typically nerve conditions.
If your pain occurs after certain activities or during specific activities : like sleeping, sitting, standing or walking; or only in certain ranges of motion, or only at full extension or flexion of your joints, then you should look at the mechanical pain solutions.
INFLAMMATION AT-HOME PLANS
NERVE CONDITION AT-HOME PLANS
MECHANICAL PAIN AT-HOME PLANS
Why is determining your type of pain important?
Generic exercise therapies can actually hurt or hinder your progress.
For instance, if you are in inflammatory pain, it is extremely important to reduce that inflammation before you exercise on it. Active rest, bracing, icing and supplements are important first steps.
If you are in nerve pain, then it is important to have an exercise routine that incorporates nerve mobilizations or closses. Even then, especially with the wrist, it becomes important to know WHICH nerve floss you should be doing.
If you are in mechanical pain, it’s important to know the fundamental daily root causes of what might be causing your pain or hindering your progress. How you sleep, sit, work, walk, stand and how that affects or causes your pain has to be examined or no amount of exercise will help because the root causes of your pain will continue.
And mostly ... why waste your time? There’s no reason you should be devoting precious minutes of your life doing exercises that won’t help you find recovery from the pain you’ve been carrying.
