Can chiropractors help wrist tendonitis?
It depends on the chiropractor. A lot of chiropractors simply pop joints and think it does something magical. Other chiropractors utilize a lot of physical therapy to manage musculoskeletal conditions. Others might use functional medicine, acupuncture, etc. in order to speed the healing process. My personal opinion is that, for wrist issues, you always want to rule out the neck as the main cause first. You don't have to have neck pain for there to be a disc bulge that can compress on the nerves that control the strength of the muscles in your arm or hand (depending on the joint level in your neck where the bulge could theoretically be). If the bulge is big enough to press on the nerves which control the muscles in part of your arm, you wouldn't feel pain. But certain muscles may need to work more throughout the day to make up for the other muscles, which are underactive because of the neck issue. Any tendinitis is an overuse injury, but of you haven't been suddenly overexerting certain muscles around a joint, then the only reason the tendon in the wrist is inflamed is because your body is trying to compensate in that area due to the neck issue. So, I don't recommend a specific profession for the treatment of it, but a school of thought. READ MORE
How to manage a sprained ankle without surgery?
It honestly depends on how badly sprained it really is. In most cases, though, it'll be fine with a boot and rest from activity while going through several weeks of rehab. Ankle sprains rarely need surgery. READ MORE

How do you fix ankle instability in teenagers?
It depends on what the source of instability is, to be honest. Sometimes, the instability comes from a connective tissue disorder, where the ligaments and tendons are a bit looser than the average person. However, in most cases, it's usually because of a lack of proper movement training, or previous injuries to stability structures in the ankles. READ MORE
Why do my muscles get so tight after I exercise?
There are a few things to take into consideration, like if the tightness happens in isolated muscle groups, if they happen on both sides equally, if they get tight any other time, if there are previous injuries to consider, etc. There are a lot of variables to consider. So, I'd recommend reaching out to a CSCS, evidence-based physical therapist, evidence-based chiropractor, neurologist, or your primary care doctor. READ MORE
Why do I have a tingling sensation in my hand after lacrosse?
It sounds like it might have have to do with irritation to a nerve, most commonly in your neck. It could be from a disc, muscle tightness on the side of your neck, an extra bone in your neck some people have, or tightness in the latissimus muscle going into your armpit, among other things.
