Natural Carpal Tunnel Treatment with Chiropractic

Natural Carpal Tunnel Treatment with Chiropractic

Dr. Ahmed sees a lot of people troubled with carpal tunnel syndrome in our busy Roselle chiropractic practice. While some people think that the source of this wrist-related pain is muscular, it's really a condition that arises from the nerves--and not just the nerves in your hands.

Research Supports Chiropractic Helps With Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

A recent study printed in the Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy evaluated 71 women between the ages of 35 and 59 who were diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome. Upon investigating the subjects' neck range of motion, the doctors found that the women had reduced cervical mobility when compared to a healthy control group.

Furthermore, they also found that the level of the women's reported carpal tunnel pain was related to the lateral flexion of the cervical spine. In short, the less mobility in the neck area, the greater the level of pain.

This research is extremely important, as you can't successfully address a problem until you fully understand its cause. By realizing that the root of carpal tunnel pain is in the neck, this means that all-natural approaches like chiropractic can often restore normal function, eliminating the need for risky operations.
