Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Responds to Chiropractic Care
In my three decades of chiropractic practice, I have seen many patients respond well to chiropractic therapy.
The carpal tunnel is an area of the wrist. It is where the long bones of the forearm and the long bones of the palm meet. At this location, there are eight small bones the size of pebbles which are called the carpal bones. These bones form an arch. The underside of the to-be tunnel. One of the nerves which goes into the hand, called the median nerve, passes through the tunnel.
When the small carpal bones get misaligned and impinge on the median nerve causing it is called carpal tunnel syndrome.
Various symptoms can occur with carpal tunnel syndrome. One might feel discomfort at the wrist... Some people experience a weakness of grip while holding things with their hands.
Often there is an association between this condition and the neck. Nerves travel through the neck area to exit the spine and then travel into the wrist and hand. A pinched nerve in the neck can have symptoms that mimic those of carpal tunnel syndrome. When patients complaining of this condition visit a chiropractor, an examination of the neck and wrist If the doctor of chiropractic finds he can administer safe, drug-free, and nonsurgical treatments to the appropriate areas.
A recent research study in the Journal of Orthopedic and Sports Physical in November 2018 revealed that patients who underwent conservative care, such as chiropractic care, or had surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome had similar outcomes after one year. However, the group receiving the care required less time off from work the treatment costs were about $3000 lower than those who underwent a surgical procedure. This suggests that a person suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome exhausts conservative treatments before electing for surgery.
Recently I finished working with the patient to help with her carpal tunnel syndrome condition. She worked long hours during the day at her factory job. Between long job hours and getting very little sleep, she was exhausted. At her initial examination, we found pinched nerves in her neck and discomfort in her hand. she was pain-free and able to sleep well. After a few good nights' sleep, she was an energetic self.
For hundred of and 25 have been helping patients with carpal tunnel syndrome in many other musculoskeletal problems.
