Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Surgery and anesthesia are the common approach to treating carpel tunnel syndrome. When surgery is performed for carpal tunnel syndrome the goal is to take pressure off the irritated median nerve. However in 75 percent of surgical cases for carpal tunnel syndrome the symptoms just return within a period of 2 years after surgery. New research into carpal tunnel syndrome has revealed that the pain it causes in the wrist and arm is likely a symptomatic problem elsewhere in the body. In fact, results have shown that wrist and arm pain is most likely related to misalignments of the bones, ligaments, and muscles in the neck. These finding only confirm soothing that chiropractors have known for decades: carpal tunnel pain has its origins in the upper spine, not in the arm and wrist itself. The chiropractic approach to treating carpal tunnel is much less intrusive than surgery. We use a conservative approach utilizing gentle spinal adjustment of the spine and upper extremities to realign skeletal structures that can impinge the nerves in accompany with certain therapies i.e. cold laser and electrical muscle stimulation that speeds healing and pain reduction to rehabilitate the condition.
