Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Relief Accelerated By Chiropractic In Tallahassee

By Clayton Maske


Carpal tunnel syndrome often results in numbness, pain and loss of function in the hand fingers and thumb. It is caused by an impingement of the median nerve as it connects the hand to the spine. Often, there is a narrowing of the carpal tunnel or swelling of tissues in the individual's wrist. However, if this nerve is pinched anywhere along its route, similar problems occur in the hand. Tallahassee upper cervical chiropractors provide natural therapy to bring relief.

The brain and body communicate using nerves. Electrical and chemical impulses travel along the network. When a pinch occurs, it interferes with blood flow, making the process much less effective. The interference in communication is read as pain by one's brain.

With the traditional medical field, normal therapy includes rest and surgery. The surgeon clips the transverse carpal ligament to reduce the pressure on the affected nerve so it heals. However, even though newer laparoscopic procedures are available, the surgery is invasive. Chiropractic allows the pressure to be relieved without resorting to surgery.

The chiropractor will adjust the wrist bones in a way to bring relief of the pressure. The approach is non-invasive, eliminating the need for surgery. Freeing the nerve allows blood flow to return, bringing healing of the nerve. As it heals, function is restored to the affected fingers, thumb and hand and pain is eliminated.

Patients benefit from early intervention in these cases. When blood flow is stopped or slowed, nerves begin to thicken due to the formation of scar tissue. It is this thickening that causes individuals to experience chronic pain. As a result, even those who undergo surgery at this point may not find relief. Early intervention prevents scar tissue formation.

A chiropractor brings relief of one's pain without surgery or medication. He works to restore the body's natural balance so it heals on its own. As the nerves heal, pain is resolved and the limbs function properly again.
