Chiropractic and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
It is due to irritation or pressure on the median nerve. This nerve originates in the neck, continues through the shoulder, arm and forearm to the wrist and hand. It is one of the primary nerves of the hand, providing sensation and movement to the thumb, index and middle fingers. It is often described as a persistent pain with burning sensation, tingling and numbness in the wrist and/or hand.
It is believed that jobs that require employees to use their hands, wrists or arms in a repetitive manner tend to cause workers to suffer a higher incidence of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
Medical treatment
Common medical treatments include braces, splints, prescription or over-the-counter anti-inflammatory drugs, vitamin B6, injections or surgery.
Chiropractic and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Chiropractic and carpal tunnel syndrome can help you stay out of surgery.
A proper evaluation of carpal tunnel syndrome should include a review of the total length of the median nerve, starting at the neck and following its path to the hands, wrists and fingers.
A consultation with a doctor specializing in the upper cervical spine would be advisable for anyone affected by this syndrome, especially if surgery has been recommended.
The purpose of upper cervical care is to correct improper alignments in the neck that cause irritation to the nerve roots that extend to the wrist, hands and fingers. Clinical studies have found that it can prevent surgery.
