My Upper Arm
Understanding Upper Arm Problems
Understanding Upper Arm Problems Your upper arm is made up of strong muscles (such as the biceps and triceps) and the humerus bone, which connects the shoulder to the elbow. These structures play an important role in lifting, pushing, pulling, and controlling movements of the arm. Pain or injury in this area can limit your ability to perform daily activities and sports tasks. Upper arm pain often arises from overuse, direct trauma, or referred pain from the shoulder or neck. Proper assessment is key to identifying the exact source of discomfort.
Common Upper Arm Conditions We Treat
Biceps Tendonitis – Inflammation of the biceps tendon, causing pain at the front of the shoulder or upper arm, often aggravated by lifting or overhead activities.
Triceps Strain – Injury to the muscle at the back of the arm, often caused by overuse in throwing or pushing sports.
Muscle Tears and Contusions – Direct trauma can cause bruising, swelling, and pain in the muscle belly.
Nerve-Related Pain – Compression or irritation of nerves in the neck or shoulder may cause pain radiating into the upper arm.
Referred Pain from Shoulder or Neck – Many upper arm symptoms originate elsewhere, making accurate diagnosis essential.
