Cambridge ON Chiropractic Doctor Helps Locals Get Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Relief

By Jonathan Aban


Carpal tunnel syndrome is an injury that narrows the passageway where the Median nerve passes from the forearm to the hand. The joint closest to the passageway suffers from numbness and pain. An x-ray can show the twenty-seven bones in the hand although it does not usually show the soft tissue. A Cambridge ON Chiropractor can provide a more in-depth explanation.

Not everyone knows that a chiropractor can alleviate the pain of this condition. It is a misunderstanding to think this professional only cares for back pain. This very painful repetitive stress injury can be relieved in a noninvasive and medication-free way.

It is relatively easy to detect the symptoms. The hand will feel numb and the individual will be unable to move it normally due to lack of feeling. It is better to visit the chiropractor than ignore it.

Together you will discuss the symptoms in great detail and an x-ray is usually needed. When the condition is confirmed a series of office appointments will often be scheduled to administer adjustments to the wrist, hand, elbow and spine. The adjustments are done by applying pressure to a joint in a controlled way.

You will be given instructions on how to care for the injury at home, between appointments. A wrist support may be worn to maintain proper alignment of the wrist and hand. In some cases a splint is worn.

If your job includes typing at a computer or assembling small parts in a factory, you will not be able to work. Immobilizing the hand and the pain will make it impossible. The length of time you will be disabled may differ from that of another person with carpal tunnel.

A woman usually has a narrower carpal tunnel than a man. Genetics may also play a part. Factors such as severity of the condition determine how fast you recover. Getting started as soon as feasible is best. Chiropractic care will alleviate the pain you are suffering.
