Natural Carpal Tunnel Treatment with Chiropractic

Blake Chiropractic & Rehabilitation sees a lot of patients afflicted with carpal tunnel syndrome in our busy Harrisburg chiropractic clinic. While some people think that the origin of this wrist-related pain is muscular, it's actually a problem that comes from the nerves--and not just the nerves in your hands.

Research Supports Chiropractic Care Helps With Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Recent research printed 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 authors discovered that the patients had less cervical mobility when compared to a healthy control group.

In addition, they also found that the level of the women's reported carpal tunnel concern was connected to the lateral flexion of the cervical spine. In other words, the less range of motion in the neck, the higher the level of pain.

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