Relief is at Hand for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.

You’re working at your desk, trying to ignore the tingling or numbness you’ve had for months in your hand and wrist. Suddenly, a sharp, piercing pain shoots through the wrist and up your arm. Just a passing cramp? More likely you have carpal tunnel syndrome, a painful progressive condition caused by compression of a key nerve in the wrist.

The wrist, comprising a delicate network of bones, nerves, tendons, and ligaments, allows us to perform many hand movements often taken for granted. Routine tasks such as writing, tying shoes, opening a jar, and waving are all possible because of the wrist’s support and control of the hand. Injury to the wrist may be acute, such as a sprain or fracture, or may be due to overuse caused by activities involving repetitive motion.

Why have Surgery when you don’t have to?

Taking medication to cover up the pain is short term solution at best because it does not fix the problem. Don’t become one of the 400,000 such operations performed nationwide each year. Please, believe me when I say, surgery should only be considered as a last resort if all else fails. Use chiropractic as your first line of defense in overcoming Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Our Chiropractic treatment for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome provides a fast, highly effective and affordable solution to relieve hand/wrist pain and numbness. The focus is to treat the cause of these conditions and prevent their return.

Conservative Chiropractic treatment consisted of physical therapy, preventative exercises, nutritional supplementation and Chiropractic adjustments for twelve visits. Chiropractic treatment is highly beneficial to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome patients because it addresses the crux of the problem by directly releasing pressure on the nerves. This is accomplished by properly aligning and restoring the function of the joints of not only the wrist, but the elbow, shoulder and neck too.
