Hand Pain

Many of our patients here at Bezek Chiropractic and Rehabilitation spend a good deal of time during their workday at the computer doing repetitive motions. Some even go home to spend even more time using the computer keyboard. As a result, they often come to us complaining of tingling, numbness and pain in their hands and wrist. Some even tell us they are unable to grip objects as a result of the pain and numbness.

This numbness, tingling and hand pain is indicative of repetitive motion injury known as carpal tunnel syndrome. It is caused by pressure and compression placed on the median nerve, which runs through your forearm to your hand.

Dr. Brian Bezak offers his patients natural chiropractic treatment to ease the symptoms of hand pain. These include myofascial release, personalized exercise, cervical traction, and ergonomic instructions. In addition, in some cases, chiropractic adjustments may be recommended.

Chiropractic care for hand pain in our Greenbelt, MD office can be of great benefit in treating carpal tunnel syndrome and other types of hand and wrist pain.

Elbow Pain

Did you know that common elbow conditions can be successfully treated by us here at Bezek Chiropractic and Rehabilitation? Chiropractic care is an excellent option for elbow pain relief because it avoids the use of surgeries or the reliance on medications.

Chiropractic care for elbow pain focuses on correcting the structural components, such as your muscles and bones, of your elbow, so that you can not only receive pain relief but have a strengthened elbow to prevent future elbow problems from reoccurring.

Two of the most common conditions associated with elbow pain, and for which Dr. Brian Bezak treats, are tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow.

• ·         Lateral epicondylitis, more readily known as tennis elbow, is a type of tendonitis and inflammation that occurs from the overuse of the tendons and muscles that connect the muscles of the forearm. It is characterized by tenderness and pain over the outside area of the elbow.


• ·         Medial epicondylitis, more commonly known as golfer’s elbow, is an inflammation at the focal point where the bony area of the inner elbow attaches to the tendons of the forearm. It is characterized by tenderness and pain in the inner elbow region.

Give us a call at 301-220-0496, if you are experiencing tenderness or pain in your elbow.

Sprain/Strain

Sprains and strains both cause persistent pain and lack of mobility for patients. While they have similar causes and symptoms, they are not actually the same thing. A sprain is an injury that occurs with the ligament, which connects bones to a joint. A strain is an injury to a tendon or muscle that is connected to a bone. Sprains of the ankle are most common, though some people find that they have sprained their wrist. Strains are most common in the back of the thigh (hamstring), arm, hand and elbow.

Sprains are typically caused by accident, like falling or twisting, though blunt force to the area can also be a cause. Strains are similar, though often less severe than a sprain. The signs and symptoms of sprains and strains are quite similar to each other. They include:

• Pain


• Muscle spasms or weakness


• Swelling


• Bruising


• The inability to move the joint


• Cramping

Here at Bezak Chiropractic and Rehabilitation, Dr. Brian Bezak offers chiropractic and rehab for sprains and strains and encourages patients to visit the Greenbelt, MD clinic for possible treatments. This includes manipulation of the affected joints, bracing the joint and soft tissue therapy. We also provide nutritional and exercise suggestions for faster healing.
