Product Description
This 4 CEU class will focus on nerve entrapment in the peripheral nerves of the shoulder, arms, and hands. Other terms used for entrapment include neuropathy, compression or pinched nerves. Repetitive movements and injuries can cause itching, tingling, and swelling anywhere between the fingertips and the shoulder. This class will take a closer look at the causes, preventative measures and conservative treatment of nerve compression in the arms and hands.
