Cambridge ON Chiropractic Doctor Assists Locals For Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Relief

By Jonathan Aban


A narrowing of the carpal tunnel located above the wrist and between the largest muscles of the hand can be disabling. The pain is concentrated in the joint near tunnel, which is where the nerve passes through. Although the twenty-seven bones in the hand and wrist show up on an x-ray, the soft tissue cushioning them usually does not. Your Cambridge ON Chiropractor can explain how the Median nerve can be obstructed causing carpel tunnel syndrome.

The back and neck are not the only areas in which chiropractic care can reduce pain. The fact is, such care can help manage the pain in other parts of the body. It can alleviate the severe hurt caused by this repetitive stress injury without reliance on surgery or prescription medication.

It is relatively easy to detect the symptoms. The hand will feel numb and the individual will be unable to move it normally due to lack of feeling. It is better to visit the chiropractor than ignore it.

During your first appointment you will be asked about your pain, how long you have had it and how severe it is. A medical history may be taken. If your condition is confirmed, a plan can be devised to reduce the pain. Adjustments to the joint in the wrist will be done by applying controlled pressure.

You will be advised on things to do at home between appointments. This might be cold compresses on the wrist and hand plus immobilizing it. For some individuals, a wrist support is helpful.

You are going to be temporarily disabled. If you type at a computer or do a job requiring repetitive hand movements, you may not be able to return to that kind of work. Your rehabilitation depends on how serious the injury is and how you respond to the chiropractic adjustments.

Women are generally smaller than men and thus the carpal tunnel is smaller and narrower. Genetics may also determine the size. It is important to have the injury evaluated as soon as possible and begin care to alleviate the pain.
