Arm Support – Evergreen Herbs

Description

Arm Support

(Arm Support) – Disorders of the arm, shoulders, elbows and wrists are usually characterized by swelling, inflammation, pain, decreased range of motion, and in severe cases after a long period of time, atrophy of the muscles and soft tissues will occur.
