CARPAL TUNNEL

What is carpal tunnel syndrome?

Carpal Tunnel is usually experienced as a numbing, tingling or pain in the hand, wrist or fingers. It can also manifest as pain between the elbow and wrist.

There is a nerve, called the median nerve, which runs up the hand and arm. When there is exaggerated pressure on this nerve, pain is often experienced. This condition is called Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.

Rheumatoid arthritis, hypothyroidism and diabetes can all cause swelling and be fully or partially responsible for carpal tunnel symptoms.

Can a Chiropractor Help With Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

Chiropractors work by adjusting the bones and skeletal structure of the body. Since Carpal Tunnel is caused by nerve irritation, chiropractic adjustments can definitely help. Chiropractic adjustments often relieve nerve pain by adjusting bones that are misaligned and putting them back into place, thereby soothing pressure on nerves and other tissues.

This kind of adjustment can be very helpful and beneficial to overall health. When we are children, we are naturally relaxed and our bodies just kind of relax into place. As adults, with the pressures of the modern world and adult responsibilities, we often hold tension in our bodies, which can result in disease and pain.

Carpal Tunnel Back Pain

Studies have shown that spinal adjustments can really help with carpal tunnel symptoms. This makes sense, as most nerves extend from the spinal cord throughout the body. A pain in the nerve of the wrist can be related to a misaligned nerve in the back or spine.

Chiropractors can effectively treat carpal tunnel syndrome by adjusting the wrist/arm/hand and the spine as well as using other methods of treatment.

A great thing about using chiropractors rather than traditional drugs is that it is side-effect free. Chiropractology is also a great alternative to surgery, which can be invasive and cause more pain than necessary to the patient.

Surgery should perhaps be the last option one seeks to solve a problem.

One of the great techniques used in carpal tunnel chiropractic care is ultra-sound. Chiropractors use ultrasound therapy to treat a multitude of disorders. With ultrasound therapy, no sound is heard by the patient and the soundwaves penetrate deeply into body tissues. This can be powerful and effective in healing.

The goal here is to alleviate or cure the patient of carpal tunnel syndrome without toxic medications or surgery.

If you are suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome, seeking out the aid of a certified chiropractor is highly suggested. It is best to try natural cures before seeking potentially hazardous medical procedures. In any case, seek medical help if you think you are suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome.
