Natural Carpal Tunnel Treatment with Chiropractic

Chiropractic Methods Shown as Effective for Carpal Tunnel Pain

Weary Chiropractic Clinic sees a lot of people afflicted with carpal tunnel syndrome in our busy Prescott chiropractic practice. While some people think that the origin of this wrist-related pain is muscular, it's really a condition that stems from the nerves--and not just the nerves in your hands.

Research Supports Chiropractic Therapy Helps With Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

A recent study published 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 discovered that the women had less cervical mobility when compared to a healthy control group.

Furthermore, they also discovered that the degree of the women's reported carpal tunnel discomfort was connected to the lateral flexion of the cervical spine. In other words, the less range of motion in the neck, the greater the level of discomfort.

This research is extremely important, as you cannot effectively treat a problem until you fully understand its cause. By understanding that the root of carpal tunnel symptoms is in the neck, this means that all-natural approaches like chiropractic care can often restore normal function, eliminating the need for risky surgery.
