Dr. Robert McMurtrie answered

Specializes in Pain Management

Depends: What area is subjected to the repetitive stress? May want to see a physician specializing in osteopathic manipulative medicine or a physical therapist for some specific stretches. You can also look into active release technique with a chiropractor.
