Relief for Carpal Tunnel

-
Do you have numbness in your hand or fingers? Do you have a hard time holding things because your hand is weak? Do small repetitious movements hundreds of times a day make your wrist or arm hurt? If these previous symptoms match what you’re presently experiencing you may have Carpal Tunnel. Other conditions may cause symptoms and problems like carpal tunnel. The treatments and the solutions for all of them are pretty similar. Let’s review the anatomy first to understand it.

In the neck, nerves come out of the bones in the side of the neck called the Brachial Plexus. These nerves go underneath the collar bone and into the arm pit. Then the nerves run down the arm into the elbow then through the wrist into the hand. These nerves that come out of the neck and into the arm and hand control all the functioning of the arm and hands: oxygen and blood, sensory, and energy for muscles to contract and relax. In the wrist, there are nine little carpal bones. These bones together make an arch way. The arch way allows tendons, ligaments, nerves, and blood vessels to enter into the hand nerves. Traditional carpal tunnel occurs when the bones of the wrist form an arch way collapse. Thus, the archway is flattened. The nerves, blood vessels and muscle tendons become pinched and compressed. Unfortunately, this cannot be corrected by medication, stretching or strengthening or wearing a wrist brace. Additionally, many patients have poor success (50-60% success rate) with carpal tunnel surgery. Fake carpal tunnel can occur and give you the same symptoms and problems. 

What is fake or pseudo carpal tunnel? If you have an injury or trauma like a car accident that injures your neck, shoulder, elbow, or wrist, the bones and joints most likely have misaligned and compressed the nerves. If you never treat and correct all the areas where the nerve can be compressed and pinched such as in the neck, shoulder, elbow, or wrist there will be no resolution. You will keep having numbness tingling pain and weakness.  In our clinic, we realign all the joints in the arm, shoulder and neck in addition to rehabilitating all the muscles to restore normal movement and strength

If this is you and you have carpal tunnel, for this month of November we will give you a complimentary consultation and examination with a therapy to treat and resolve your carpal tunnel if you call and schedule an appointment. Call us today so the holidays are not so miserable.

DECOMPRESSION THERAPY

If you have suffered a recent car accident, trip and fall, sports collision, or repetitive work injury, you may be having some joint problems in the spine and neck we have joints that are connected together with ligaments but in the spine we have a total of nine surrounding each bone. These ligaments are designed to maintain stability for the spinal column so that the bones do not misalign and compress, pinch, or sever the spinal cord, which would impair oxygen, blood and energy control to our organs and muscles. In our spine and neck we also have discs. These discs are called intervertebral discs. The discs are primarily cartilage on the outside with a center that is a gel water substance. Our discs act as shock absorbers when we walk, run or jump to allow forces to be spread out along our spine. These discs also allow space between each bone in the spine for nerves to exit out into the body. All of these ligaments and discs can be injured once or repetitively. Bones will shift out o

BACK PAIN Back pain is one of the top 10 complaints of reasons for Americans going to the doctor. Unfortunately, majority of the individuals that go to a family doctor for back pain should know and understand this is not a specialty or their expertise. Their expertise is illness disease and infections. There can be several causes and reasons for back pain. The primary fact that you must know is that pain, if it is new or chronic it can be the cause of compression and damage of a nerve over 40%. Why is that significant? Because your nerves run between your joints, your organs and your muscles. The nerves control all of our oxygen blood and energy for our organs muscles and cells. So if you have a fall or you get hit in a sports event or unfortunately get into a car accident or even sleep funny and a nerve or multiple nerves get pinched, expect dysfunction and deficiency of functioning of your organs and/or muscles. Let’s say you have acute shooting electric pain that might be in

Arthritis Solution!

Do you suffer from arthritis in your wrists, shoulder, back, hips, knees, or feet? What is really occurring is that the joints have been misaligned, creating abnormal wear and tear on the joints, ligaments, and cartilage. Unfortunately, this can occur from physical, ,chemical, or emotional events that cause stress to our bodies. Once the joint is misaligned, it is unable to self-correct. It does not matter if you stretch, exercise, massage the joints, take pain pills, take vitamins, ice, take a hot bath, or try to sleep it off. The joints will stay misaligned. In time, this becomes osteoarthritis. Doctors have proven that a satisfactory treatment for arthritis is exercise, which gets the joints moving and increases oxygen and blood to the joints, which in turn decreases inflammation. Unfortunately, this does not correct the problem and does not stop the progression of arthritis. Doctors have found the best treatment for arthritis in our joints-a combination of
