Wrist Pain
WHAT IS CARPAL TUNNEL?
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a condition that affects the nerves in your wrist. The pain occurs when tissues surrounding the nerves traveling from your arm to your hand become swollen.
This inflammation pinches the nerves causing pain. It starts off dull and achy but progresses to numbness and burning in the palms and fingers.
It’s a condition that affects more than 8 million Americans each year. Chiropractic care is a safe, non-surgical alternative to defeat pain associated with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
HOW DO WE DIAGNOSE CARPAL TUNNEL?
First, we want to locate the source of your wrist pain. We do that by conducting an exam.
As Chiropractors, we are trained to locate and treat nerve related injuries, using a unique hands-on technique. We’ll look at the movements that cause your wrist pain and then examine the muscles and ligaments in the affected area.
When we confirm the diagnosis, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan to help you get back to full strength.
HOW DO WE TREAT WRIST PAIN CAUSED BY CARPAL TUNNEL?
Surgery isn’t the only option. When nerve problems cause wrist pain, these Chiropractic treatment options have been proven to help relieve symptoms.
