CARPAL TUNNEL

How Chiropractic Care May Help

The major nerve controlling the thumb, index, and parts of the middle, and ring finger is called the Median Nerve.
From the tip of your fingers, it travels through the bones in your wrist, past your elbow, up your arm, through your shoulder and neck then finally to your spinal cord

Problems can develop in one or more of these areas.

The carpal "tunnel" is formed by bones in the wrist.

The Median Nerve, tendons, and blood vessels pass through this opening.
If one or more of the bones forming this tunnel should collappse, inflammation, nerver pressure, and painful symptoms in the wrist area can result

The Median nerve connects to the spinal cord through openings between several bones in the lower neck.

When these spinal bones lose their normal motion or position, they can cause problems in the fingers and wrist.

After a thorough examination, we will perform specific adjustments where needed to help normalize structure and reduce nerver irritation.

When given time, conservative, chiropractic care has produced excellent results with carpal tunnel problems -- without drugs or surgery.
