Natural Carpal Tunnel Treatment with Chiropractic

Dr. Kasprack sees a lot of patients troubled with carpal tunnel syndrome in our busy Clarksdale, Hernando, & Olive Branch chiropractic office. While some people think that the source of this wrist-related pain is muscular, it's actually a problem that stems from the nerves--and not just the nerves in your hands.

Research Proves Chiropractic Therapy Helps With Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Recent research printed in the Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy assessed 71 women between the ages of 35 and 59 who were diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome. Upon studying the subjects' neck range of motion, the authors discovered that the women had reduced cervical mobility when compared to a healthy control group.

In addition, they also found that the degree of the women's reported carpal tunnel discomfort was connected to the lateral flexion of the cervical spine. In short, the less mobility in the neck area, the greater the level of discomfort.

This study is very important, as you can't successfully address a condition until you fully understand its source. By recognizing that the root of carpal tunnel pain is in the neck, this means that all-natural approaches like chiropractic adjustments can often restore normal function, eliminating the need for risky surgery.
