Chiropractic Treatment For Carpal Tunnel
Houston Chiropractor Comments: In my Houston, TX office it is common for people to come in complaining about having carpal tunnel syndrome. They believe that all hand and wrist pain is carpal tunnel. While this is not actually correct, sometimes they do have carpal tunnel syndrome.
The good news for those patients is that after 37 years in practice, we get great results with that condition.
How Beecher Chiropractic Clinic addresses Carpal Tunnel Syndrome:
- Manual Adjustments:
Chiropractors use hands-on techniques to adjust the spine, neck, shoulder, and wrist, aiming to relieve pressure on the median nerve.
- Spinal Manipulation:
Chiropractic adjustments can help realign the vertebrae in the neck and spine, which can contribute to carpal tunnel symptoms.
- Wrist and Hand Adjustments:
Specific techniques can address misalignments in the wrist and hand, reducing pressure on the median nerve.
- Soft Tissue Therapy:
Chiropractors may use soft tissue mobilization to release tension and improve circulation, potentially reducing inflammation and pressure.
- Bracing:
Wrist braces can help stabilize the joint and limit movement, which can provide temporary relief and allow the tissues to heal.
- Exercises:
Chiropractors may recommend exercises to strengthen the muscles in the wrist, arm, and hand, and to improve flexibility and range of motion.
- Ultrasound and Electrical Stimulation:
These therapies can be used to reduce inflammation and pain.
Why Beecher Chiropractic Clinic is a Good Option for Carpal Tunnel:
- Non-invasive:
Chiropractic care is a non-surgical option that avoids the risks and recovery time associated with surgery.
- Drug-free:
It provides a natural approach to managing symptoms without relying on medication.
- Holistic approach:
Chiropractors consider the interconnectedness of the body and address the underlying causes of carpal tunnel, not just the symptoms.
- Improved function:
By restoring proper alignment and function, chiropractic care can improve overall hand and wrist function.
- Empowerment:
Chiropractic care can empower patients to actively participate in their own recovery by learning how to manage their condition with self-care and proper ergonomics.
