NUMBNESS TINGLING PAIN WEAKNESS???..These seemingly mild symptoms could be a major problem.
If you are experiencing one or more of these symptoms in your hand you may have developed a disabling condition known as carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). CTS develops when the medial nerve is compressed. The median nerve begins in the neck travels down the arm and passes through the wrist.
The medical approach is to prescribe drugs or wrist immobilization. If these methods fail corticoid steroids are injected into the wrist. Relapse rate is high and the next step is surgery. Risks involved in these procedures are scar tissue buildup, permanent nerve damage and deterioration of the joint itself.
Failed medical intervention has forced new research. New research has shown that the wrist is the not the only site of injury to the median nerve. Compression of the nerve may occur in the neck due to misalignments of vertebrae in the neck and poor biomechanics. Because the neck is often overlooked millions continue to suffer from this disabling condition. This explains why localized treatment of the site of pain is often ineffective in resolving CTS. Correction of these misalignments of the neck must be performed by a doctor specializing in misalignments of the spine- a Doctor of Chiropractic.
The doctor of chiropractic applies a very specific adjustment to the spine realigning the misaligned vertebrae relieving the pressure on the appropriate nerve. With a series of treatment function is slowly restored the appropriate cells tissues and structures received normalized nerve and blood supply and healing begins without drugs or surgery.
