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...

Do your kids jump from the couch, the bed, the stairs, like they’re acrobats? Or stunt doubles in a movie? This is pretty common for kids under youthful energy and fearless minds. Do you have babies or infants that can’t move their head very well or are hitting their head against the crib or always grabbing their neck or head with their hands? Parents see this activity in a baby or infant can be stressful or unsettling. Do your children have allergies or they seem to be sick all the time? This can be sad and frustrating for a child and the parent. A child’s life does not have to stay this way with struggles of health and physical ability. Children get exposed to many different forms of stress as do adults. We expect kids to be resilient, young, and tress free. However they really do have daily stressors that effect the functioning of their nervous system and their health. We’re going to review some of these stressors and how to correct them at your local chiropractic clinic. Fi...

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...
