Seattle Chiropractic Offers Drug-Free, Non-Surgical Relief From Carpal Tunnel Symptoms
August 16th, 2009 | by admin |Seattle Chiropractic offers conservative care that relieves carpal tunnel pain because the methods that work so dramatically with the spine can, by all means, be applied to other joints in the body. Due to trauma, excess vibration, or repetitive motions, essentially every joint is exposed to debilitation and range of motion limitations. For this reason, chiropractic care is an effective, drug-free, non-invasive approach to the treatment of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
The carpal tunnel is positioned within the underside of the wrist. It is a tunnel, or passage, through which the Median nerve journeys on its way to affect and enliven the hand and fingers. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome falls into the category of nerve entrapment disorders and is clearly the most common. As the name suggests, the dysfunction happens when a nerve is impinged or trapped between other tissues of the body causing inflammation of the nerve. This can take place if the size of the tendon increases due to irritation or overuse, or if the tunnel, itself, decreases in size because of a misalignment of the carpal bones.
Pain, numbness, pins and needles, and tingling in the fingers are the first symptoms of CTS. These symptoms are frequently noticeable at night and routinely wake people from their sleep as they feel compelled sit up in bed and shake-out and/or rub the hands in order to ease these unpleasant feelings. In addition, activity can cause the hands to feel clumsy or weak, and fatigue easily. Eventually, grasping small objects with the thumb and fingers can be markedly affected and, without treatment, can develop into an entire disability of the hand.
In order to confine the debilitating symptoms resulting from the advancement of CTS, expert diagnosis and suitable treatment are essential. If you are suffering from the pain and disability associated with carpal tunnel syndrome, it would be beneficial for you to try the most non-invasive approach first. As mentioned above, chiropractic care is drug-free, non-surgical, and highly effective. Call your chiropractor today and learn more about what safe and natural chiropractic can do for you.
