Carpal Tunnel

Anyone performing repetitive movements during work or hobbies is susceptible to developing carpal tunnel syndrome or CTS. Typing or assembly line work that is performed for hours each day can produce CTS in one or both hands. It is one of the most prevalent work injuries, affecting over eight million Americans each year.

Carpal tunnel is painful and progressive. Left untreated, the damage will become permanent. Severe CTS requires surgery to release the nerve and relieve the pain. Chiropractic care is effective in the early stages of development.

The median nerve becomes compressed with repetitive motions inside the wrist. This nerve runs from the hand to the forearm. The compressed nerve sends pain and numbness into the wrist and hand, but the numbness can also extend up into the shoulder.

Chiropractic treatment increases range of motion in the hand and wrist as well as finger sensations.
