Wrist Pain Relief
Our New Jersey Chiropractor at Optimum Health Chiropractic treats wrist pain with a variety of techniques designed to ease pain and rehabilitate the affected area.
The most pervasive syndrome affecting millions of Americans in the work place is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Carpal tunnel syndrome is a problem that affects the wrist and hand. If you have carpal tunnel syndrome, it can be treated, and your symptoms can be controlled. The tingling and numbness you experience can make even simple tasks hard to perform.
The carpal tunnel is a narrow space inside the wrist that is surrounded by bone and ligament. This space lets certain tendons and a major nerve pass from the forearm into the hand. A sheath protects the tendons. With CTS the tendon sheaths may thicken and enlarge. This reduces the amount of space inside the carpal tunnel. As a result, the median nerve may be compressed.
Tingling and numbness are the most common symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome. Some people also have hand pain or even a weakened grip. At first, symptoms may wake you up at night. You may experience them when performing repetitive tasks. They may also occur during your daily routines. Your symptoms may become more severe over time.
Fortunately, not all wrist pain should be called CTS. It is important to determine if, in fact, the pressure on the nerves of the wrist is causing the symptoms, or if there is a different cause of the problem. It is VERY common for these types of symptoms to exist when there is a neck misalignment, history of auto injury, or other spinal conditions. The nerves of the neck control all the nerves of our arms and hands. If the nerves of the neck are being compressed, wrist and hand pain is a common symptom. Your New Jersey Chiropractor is trained to determine whether your condition is a true carpal tunnel syndrome.
In some cases chiropractic manipulation of the wrist can be used to alleviate the symptoms of true CTS. If our NJ Chiropractor determines that the cause of your symptoms are due to a neck related situation, a series of chiropractic adjustments may be needed.
