Tricep pain can limit your ability to push, lift, or extend your arm—impacting everything from workouts to simple daily tasks like opening doors or reaching overhead. At Align Health Centre, we provide hands-on, evidence-based treatment to relieve tricep pain, restore mobility, and support a full recovery.
Whether it’s caused by overuse, nerve tension, poor lifting mechanics, or referred pain from the neck or shoulder, our approach focuses on identifying and treating the root cause—not just the discomfort. Our multi-disciplinary team offers:
Physiotherapy – We assess muscle strength, movement patterns, joint function, and nerve mobility. Treatment may include manual therapy, laser therapy, exercise rehab, dry needling, and movement correction to relieve pain and restore full function.
Chiropractic Care – Tricep pain may be influenced by spinal misalignment or nerve impingement originating from the neck or shoulder. Chiropractic adjustments help improve nerve flow, reduce referred pain, and enhance movement mechanics.
Remedial Massage – Great for relieving tight or overworked tricep muscles and surrounding areas like the shoulders and upper back. Targeted massage supports blood flow, reduces inflammation, and promotes muscle recovery.
No matter what’s triggering your tricep pain, our team will create a personalised plan to help you feel stronger, move easier, and get back to doing what you love.
Tricep pain often builds over time, but can also appear suddenly from strain or injury. Symptoms include:
- Dull ache or tightness in the back of the upper arm
- Sharp pain when extending the elbow or pressing objects overhead
- Weakness when pushing or straightening the arm
- Muscle fatigue or burning during workouts
- Pain that worsens with repetition or strain
- Soreness that lingers after lifting or training
- Tingling or radiating pain from shoulder to elbow
- Tricep tendonitis or overuse injuries
- Strain from lifting heavy weights or poor technique
- Repetitive pushing or elbow extension (e.g., in sports or manual work)
- Nerve entrapment or cervical radiculopathy
- Muscle imbalances in the upper limb or shoulder
- Inadequate recovery after workouts or injury
- Postural dysfunction affecting upper body movement
If you’re struggling with tricep pain or arm weakness, our team at Align Health Centre can help uncover the cause and support your recovery with a treatment plan that gets results.
