Vancouver Chiropractor Featured in Gripped Climbing Magazine

December 3, 2008 by Dr. Carla Cupido

I am featured in this month’s leading Canadian climbing magazine, Gripped.  My article is on finger pulley injuries.  I discuss the anatomy and biomechanics of the finger as well as details on diagnosis, recovery, things you can do to speed the healing process, taping strategies, and even prevention tactics.  If you or someone in your life is a climber, this article will prove helpful.

Take care of those fingers during the indoor climbing season or on any trips you are planning.  Although you may not be pulling on crazy edges or pockets, the repetitive strain of the same movements on plastic can be risky.  Remember, the more you know about your body, the less likely you will get injured!  Keep learning!
