Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Helped By Chiropractor In Short Pump

By Samital Leah Zerna


When abnormal pressure is exerted on the median nerve, located right above the wrist, it may cause carpal tunnel syndrome. This condition affecting the hand is named for the median nerve, which it affects. Those who work on a computer all day are most often afflicted with this. At Midlothian Chiropractic in Short Pump the professionals ease the pain caused by this condition.

Trauma to the wrist and repetitive stressful movement may be the cause. It might be impossible for the individual to hold on to objects and be unable to open a jar. Often, the person is unable to keep working at a computer or manufacturing job that involves assembling small parts.

A full nights sleep may be impossible since the pain can jolt you awake. Chiropractors have been successfully relieving the symptoms. They do so by adjusting misplaced vertebrae in the neck that are compressing the nerve roots. People prefer chiropractic intervention rather than invasive procedures or taking strong pain medication.

The onset of symptoms may start out being mild. They may progress until they move up the arm. The palm of your hand, thumb and fingers are numbed except for the little finger. Rheumatoid arthritis and wrist fracture are two likely causes. However, sometimes the cause cannot be identified.

An entrapped nerve may be above the wrist or in the arm or neck. Compression causes this entrapment. It can affect one nerve or several. A combination of massage and adjustments to the cervical vertebrae may be required to alleviate the numbness and pain.

Chiropractic intervention begins with a thorough assessment. When other conditions are ruled out, the exam will confirm that adjustments, massage or another type of care is appropriate. It may be that a combination of adjustments to the cervical vertebrae and massage of the occluded nerve will be appropriate. A series of appointments will then be scheduled to begin the care that will ease the pain and other unpleasant features of this condition.
