Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

 

Most Common Symptoms Includes:

 

 

·         Numbness or tingling in hand, fingers.

·         Burning sensation in wrist or arm.

·         Weakness in the wrist and hand.

·         Shooting pain in arm or forearm.

 

Carpal Tunnel is one of the most common problems and is caused by repetitive shoulder, elbow, and wrist movements. The nerve irritation leads to the swelling of the soft tissue, which often occurs in the wrist and arm. Carpal tunnel affects professionals such as engineers (working with computers most of the time), hair stylists, musicians, dentists, cooks, and various others who depend on the constant use of their hands for their work purposes. 
 

Conservative chiropractic care is the best choice for attending to carpal tunnel. Adjusting your wrist and neck where the nerve originates along with other therapy including neuromuscular stimulation and traction will help alleviate and heal the pain and increase the motion in the joints.
