22 Tuesday March 21 2017 Latest Christchurch news at www. .kiwi RSI, OOS or Gradual process Injury can be treated! What causes OOS? The Department of Labour states: “One of the favourable explanations for OOS is that it is caused by muscles being held tense or tight for too long.’’ These conditions may be caused by repetitive tasks, forceful exertions, vibrations, mechanical compression, or sustained or awkward positions. The shorter and tenser the muscle, the harder it pulls on the places it attaches to (e.g. the bone). When this happens in the forearm the pull at those attachments and tendons causes irritation and inflammation of those areas. This will be noticed as pain in the elbow and wrist. When this happens in the neck and shoulder area, it will be noticed as local pain, stiffness and sometimes headaches. The nerves run right through the muscles. Tension on the muscles causes pressure on the nerves. As the muscles shorten, the nerves running through them have a tendency to both shorten and slide less well. This causes the nerves to radiate pain throughout the arm. Triggerpoints are areas in your muscles, where a few muscle fibres have contracted in a knot. These knots (the hard and painful areas in your muscles felt during massage) weaken and shorten your muscles and can cause referred pain. This drawing is an example of pain areas (the red area), caused by triggerpoints (the black X). This is your muscle’s reaction to continuous irritation. In most cases, there are multiple causes for this irritation. These could be: repeated actions without breaks; constant static posture resulting in constant muscle contraction; lack of healthy blood flow; bad posture resulting in continuous high loading of some muscles, etc. As you can see, your thumb pain can originate in your neck. Pain in your little finger or forearm can originate in your chest. This is the reason that your therapist may treat an area, other than where you are experiencing pain. In the following drawing you can see the painful areas in the head caused by the triggerpoint in the neck. This is often the result of poor posture. Physical Sense has been treating this condition for the last 25 years. Their experience is: • Most of the patients who have had their pain for less than a year leave this clinic free of pain (but they have to be very careful to avoid relapses). • When the OOS pain has been there for more than a year, that percentage drops to 60%. • The other 40% will leave the clinic with relief of pain and with knowledge about numerous strategies to relieve and handle the remaining pain.
