Help for Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI) in Shakopee
If your wrist, elbow, shoulder, or neck bothers you after the same activities, such as typing, mousing, lifting, or swinging a club (or pickleball paddle), you may be experiencing a repetitive strain injury (RSI). These develop when small stresses build up in muscles, tendons, and joints faster than your body can recover. In the early stages, RSI may feel like a dull ache or stiffness. If left unaddressed, it can progress to burning, tingling, weakness, or sharp pain, making everyday tasks a challenge.
How RSIs Develop
Repetitive motions at work, during sports, or even while scrolling can create irritation in soft tissues. When joints don’t move as they should, or posture is off, the strain increases. Muscle imbalances, weak stabilizers, and a lack of rest make inflammation more likely. Poor workstation setups or improper technique can also keep the problem coming back. While mild cases sometimes improve with rest or lifestyle changes, symptoms that persist or recur often require guided care to address the underlying cause.

At Caspers Chiropractic Center, we look beyond the sore spot to uncover the root issue.

Shakopee Chiropractor Dr. Guy Caspers has been serving patients since 1994 and is a Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician (CCSP). His passion is helping people heal naturally and maintain long-term wellness. He often says, “It’s your future—be there healthy.”
Your body is the greatest healer there is. It’s designed to self-heal and self-regulate through the nervous system. Our role is to restore clear communication between the brain and body so every part can function at its best.
What Care May Include
Your personalized plan may involve gentle chiropractic adjustments to restore mobility and reduce stress on overused tissues. Soft-tissue therapies are often used to ease tightness, calm inflammation, and encourage faster recovery.
We may also recommend posture and movement coaching to improve everyday patterns, along with ergonomic upgrades for your desk setup, lifting strategies, or sports technique. Simple home exercises can strengthen weak areas, increase flexibility, and help maintain lasting relief.
When to Seek Help
If discomfort lingers longer than a week, interferes with work or sleep, or keeps returning despite rest, it’s a good idea to get checked. You don’t need to wait until it becomes severe. We’re here to help you move with ease and get back to what you love.
