Carpal Tunnel - Your Natural Solution
Chiropractic adjustments that work so well with the spine can also work with other joints in the body. Virtually every joint is vunerable to misalignments and malfunctions that interfere with function and range of motion. Many contributing factors include trauma, micro-traumas, repetitive motion, and even strong vibrations.
The Tunnel
The carpal tunnel is a series of 10 little bones (carpal bones) surrounded by a band of ligaments in your wrist. Pain can result when your nerves become choked by a collapse of your nerve “tunnel.”
The Spine
You may be surprised to find out that the cause of your wrist problem might be due to misalignments to one or more joints of the neck, shoulder, elbow or wrist. Misalignments in your neck and upper back can cause poor function of any part between it and the your finger tips. When you have more than one cause of your arm and hand pain, this is called a “double crush syndrome.”
Can Surgery Help Me?
Surgery is often “sold” as the solution to carpal tunnel but it’s really the least effective approach because 90% of the time, what appears to be a wrist problem actually involves nerve interference coming from the neck, the shoulder, the elbow, or even the forearm. As a result, many times the diagnosis is wrong leading to unnecessary surgery and a wrist problem that returns in the future. We have seen many patients who still have numbness in their hands after more than one carpal tunnel surgery.
The better alternative is to explore the natural pain relief solution that is chiropractic care. Call us today to find out how we can help you!
