Hi fern,
For myself, I was amazed at how many of my symptoms were caused by misalignments, trigger points & sticky fascia. Hypermobile too
Once the chiro got me into a better alignment and reduced the pain/spasms with US, LLLT, IF stim & some Nimmo{a TrP/massage mix} I rarely have any elbow/arm/hand pain anymore.
Unless I really do heavy or intense projects, my main thing now is the aches in the neck and upper back and some times tightness if I don't do the self care stuff.
Last winter my wrist acted up after stacking a lot of firewood. A few days later was my chiro appt, he worked my wrist joint around, mobilizing it, and then did some quick massage on my arms, checked my elbow, and then had me brace against the wall while he did a traction/ pulling / and then some slow motion yanks on my whole arm- amazingly it worked. I suppose it was some sort of aggressive modified nerve stretch.
have you seen this pressure pointer chart before - with the clickable links?

it shows where TrPs can refer pain to.
