Trauma, micro-traumas, vibrations and repetitive motions are often the culprits.
Specific Chiropractic techniques that work well with the spine can also be applied to other joints of the body. The wrist and hand are examples of these joints. Virtually every joint is susceptible to subluxations, fixations and malfunctions that impair function and range of motion.
The Carpal Tunnel
The carpal tunnel is a space formed by a band of ligaments and small bones in your hand and wrist. Painful symptoms and even numbness can result when nerves are compressed by misalignments of these tissues resulting in a collapse of this nerve “tunnel.”
The Spine
Many are surprised to learn that the cause of their wrist problem may be due to functional changes to one or more joints of the neck, shoulder, elbow, hand or wrist. Subluxations (misalignments) in the upper spine may compromise the workings of any structure between it and the tip of your littlest finger. This is often called the double crush syndrome.
Other Extremities
- Shoulders, hip problems, knees, ankles and even jaw problems have been shown to respond to chiropractic care. Find out before resorting to more drastic treatments such as surgery!
Chiropractic First
It just makes sense to take the more conservative approach first: chiropractic first, drugs second and surgery last! Schedule a no-obligation consultation at (949) 388-0800 and find out what safe and natural chiropractic may do for you.
