Cambridge ON Chiropractic Doctor Helps Locals Get 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.

Not everyone knows that a chiropractor can alleviate the pain of this condition. It is a misunderstanding to think this professional only cares for back pain. This very painful repetitive stress injury can be relieved in a noninvasive and medication-free way.

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.

You will be questioned about the numbness and the hurting. After a full evaluation a care plan can be arranged. Adjustments to the joints are the usual course of care. Pressure is applied to the joints in a specific and controlled fashion.

You will be given instructions on how to care for the injury at home, between appointments. A wrist support may be worn to maintain proper alignment of the wrist and hand. In some cases a splint is worn.

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.
